Production Value

The production is good, it feels more polished than their 1st album. The bass seems more pronounced; the whole EP has a fuller sound.

Vocal Performance

The vocals of Ryan are well suited for this blend of rock, clean and a bit raw.

Two words that describe this album.

Bluesy Riffage

Does the album art reflect the music?

Yes, it’s a throwback to the late 60s era of psychedelic rock; like Blue Cheer or Yardbirds.

Brew Pairing

Bells Oarsman Ale. The light golden hue with citrus and sour flavors will enhance your experience with this album.

Final Thoughts

Crypt Trip have that special 70s psychedelic groove rock sound down to a science. They have just captured our interest with this EP and have us yearning for a full length. Let’s hope they can provide one soon while their EP is gaining momentum.
