True Hard Rock from Philadelphia.
Crazy Bull is a four- piece hard rock band from Philadelphia. Musically they strive to show reverence to bands like Mountain, Pentagram, mc5 and the Scorpions, without losing a fresh approach to their songwriting. They believe in tight, crushing riffage and soloing that draws you in and splits your head in half. Crazy Bull has that classic edge in their music. The edge that makes you remember. The edge that makes you light up and smile because you just have to. The riff sets in, the drums bellow through you, the vocals make your lower half rumble and your deep in it. Bong.
Crazy Bull plays rock and roll that knows when to give you a pounding force of foot stomping riffs and and when to let you drop back in the cut and feel something. Listening to Crazy Bull gives you an attitude. It gives you a Rok bullet and says "Do what you gotta do."
I can’t think of a more apt title for the debut full-length from this Philadelphia band. As you can tell by their logo, artwork, and their music if you give them a listen, they’re going whole hog on the retro 70s rock thing, though you can still hear punk in the band’s fast tempos and high energy level. Aside from the obvious points of comparison like Annihilation Time and North Carolina’s own Mind Dweller, the band that keeps coming to mind when I listen to Crazy Bull is Sir Lord Baltimore.
Their Kingdom Come LP is one of my favorites, and just like that album The Past Is Today is a non-stop barrage of heavy, blues-inflected rock riffage. If you aren’t familiar with Sir Lord Baltimore, Crazy Bull also have a ton of Black Sabbath in their DNA, but they don’t have any parts I’d describe as doomy. If Sabbath had an entire LP that was nothing but fast and frantic songs like “War Pigs” and “Hole in the Sky” it might sound like The Past Is Today. While some might dislike how hard Crazy Bull leans into the retro rock aesthetic if you love classic rock riffs I can’t imagine you wouldn’t love this album.
