Victoria, BC

Crom/Dam is the duo of guitarist T. and bassist S., but it wouldn’t be a stretch to imagine their self-deprecatingly lo-fi synth assault as a third member. The relatively new punk act thrash on their respective instruments wildly, while a backing track of near-malfunctioning programmed electronics add a sinister heft to their wall of sound. Having already sold out a VHS-cassingle and embarking on their first regional tour this summer, the game is theirs to lose.
