36 Crazyfists - Destroy The Map

The band who are named in honour of a 1977 Jackie Chan film (well, 36 Crazyfists is easier to pronounce than San Shi Liu Mi Xing Quan) wrap up the promotional activities concerning last year's rather good A Snow Capped Romance album with the release of this limited edition single.

Destroy The Map may be one of A Snow Capped's less heavy numbers but it still rocks with a bass-driven verse that saunters along before accelerating into a memorable chorus that is tailor-made to be shouted along to at gigs. Which is handy, because 36 Crazyfists are about to tour the UK again...

The B-sides are interesting, if only to demonstrate 36 Crazyfists' above-average versatility. Workhorse is a heavier-than-thou metalcore cover of Cast Iron Hike with huge riffs accentuating the sentiment of the "I don't wanna die alone" lyric, while the acoustica of Cat Stevens' Sad Lisa shows the band have a sensitive side too. Kung fu fighting with a smile, you might say.
