Tonight Decide If You Love or Hate Crypts Tonight at the Comet!

Crypts have only been around for a little over a year, but already the post-These Arms Are Snakes project have a very strong love/hate relationship with Seattle's music fans (or, perhaps fan). Dave Segal talked to the band to try and answer the question: Why do anonymous commenters want to kill Crypts?

"We researched the troll, and it's always the same kid," vocalist Steve Snere notes. "That guy should come to the Comet show and talk to us. So far, people either love what we're doing or want to fucking kill us. That, to me, is great."

"But there are fucking crazies out there who really want to kill us," synthesist/beatmaster Bryce Brown counters. "There are a ton of people who would do that or who are pissy-pants about life in general. They're pissed off at us because they think we're snorting mountains of blow or because we wear tight pants."

"And that's all true," says Snere. "And we're going to fuck your girlfriend."

Brown announces, "We switched to meth, because it's a lot cheaper than coke."

"Every time you guys post something on us, we're like, 'Here we go, here we go!'" Snere says. "I feel like they're waiting for us to respond, but we're like [lip-zipping gesture]."

It's pretty hilarious. The band takes the hate in stride, and the negative comments only fuel the band's passion for making music. So really, the haters are making the Crypts work harder. See, trolls? Your anonymous comments don't work to your advantage!

Read the whole piece here. Then head to the Comet tonight to see the Crypts in action. Or at least talk your shit to their faces.
