Why is this worthy of my time and money?: This well-hyped Californian quintet embark on a mammoth tour across Europe and the States, taking their explosive psych-rock with them. EP opener 'A Thousand Eyes' is enough to remove any doubt that Crystal Antlers are worth seeing with Jonny Bell's raw vocals and relentless bass riffs showcasing why this band are not just another 'one to watch'. Live, they are a force to be reckoned with - the dynamics that can't be witnessed with the EP have been blowing audiences with their soulful punk and whirlwind energy.
