- USA Pressing on Metal BLade records
This album"Rude Awakening" by "CRISIS PARTY" is the one and only album released by the rock band "Crisis Party"
In the heart of 1989, amidst the burgeoning grunge scene in Seattle, CRISIS PARTY unleashed their debut album, "Rude Awakening," a raw and unpolished sonic assault that defied easy categorization. The album was a wild ride, a testament to the band's eclectic influences and their refusal to conform to any single genre.
A Musical Melting Pot:
CRISIS PARTY's sound was a unique blend of hard rock, heavy metal, and punk, with a touch of psychedelia thrown in for good measure. "Rude Awakening" was a sonic kaleidoscope, a chaotic and unpredictable journey through a landscape of distorted guitars, pounding drums, and raspy vocals.
Seattle's Sonic Underground:
While the grunge scene was gaining momentum, CRISIS PARTY carved their own niche in the Seattle underground. Their music was too raw and unrefined for the mainstream, but it resonated with a dedicated following of fans who craved something different, something real.
Recorded at London Bridge Studio:
The album was recorded at the legendary London Bridge Studio, a breeding ground for some of Seattle's most iconic bands. Produced by Terry Date, a rising star in the music industry, "Rude Awakening" captured the raw energy and intensity of CRISIS PARTY's live performances.
A Controversial Debut:
"Rude Awakening" wasn't for everyone. Its raw sound and unconventional song structures alienated some listeners, while its lyrics, which touched on themes of rebellion, addiction, and social unrest, sparked controversy. But for those who were willing to embrace its raw power and unfiltered honesty, the album was a revelation.
