Just like the cultural equal of a optimistic Lateral Move Check, Max Creeps have been a quintessentially trendy expression of everlasting human frailties and fears. That being stated it feels solely proper to mark the passing right here. Personally I’ll always remember the primary time I heard the Lifeless Cat Didn’t Bounce EP, with traditional anthems like ‘Dogshit Alchemy’ and ‘My Time Machine Is Caught On Plague Pit.’ It feels surreal to assume I’ll by no means get one other likelihood to see them play for crowds that typically numbered within the dozens, all of us screaming the choruses of their traditionally themed hits like ‘Botched Execution’ and ‘Surf’s Up In The Vomitarium.’ Even when the band couldn’t bear in mind the phrases, we might. And we’ll be singing them till our breath runs out. I’ll be taking a break from social media to course of this. Thanks all on your understanding.”
