The Crownhate Ruin: “No Claims Enemy”

Tracks
Written By Michael Gutierrez

90s archivists will treasure these finds: singles and early recordings from The Crownhate Ruin. Formed by ex-Hoover personnel, The Crownhate Ruin bring an artcore sensibility to punk and emo songwriting. Our highlighted track “No Claims Enemy” builds up a percussion-led head of steam in the first 30 seconds before the guitar and vox kick in with a short and prickly ascending progression.
