“Canadian electronic punk duo, Crystal Castles' US summer tour was supposed to coincide with the release of their self-titled sophomore album. But after the record was leaked online, its launch date was brought forward to April. Nevertheless, Crystal Castles gigs tend to involve some form of controversy, which, in our book, makes tonight's show — as part of the HARD Summer Tour — an unmissable date.”
Colm Larkin, Flavorpill
Since forming in the summer of 2004, Crystal Castles, the Toronto-based duo of Ethan Fawn and Alice Glass have amassed a cult following through their uncompromising and intense delivery, a slew of limited edition singles, and shows packed solely from word of mouth. Their 7” singles have sold out almost instantly, they have toured extensively in the UK, Europe, and North America with artists such as the Klaxons and Metric, and remixed songs for Bloc Party and the Klaxons, among others. Crystal Castles have attracted much attention from those trying to pigeonhole the band as leaders for such media-hyped subgenres as “8-bit” and “nu-rave”, however their nihilist aesthetic and diverse body of work suggests their intentions and potential are worth much more. The following is a selection of frequently asked questions that the band would like to clarify, of which their answers are completely sincere and not contrived.
