TracklistingI Won't Work For YouThoughts & PrayersSmart MouthDear SirFor A Good Time (Don'tCall Her)AloneEating You AliveReal TruthJunkieDrown After a whirlwind of tragedies, both global and personal,guitarist Mike Crain (Dead Cross, Retox, Festival Of DeadDeer), drummer Kevin Avery (Retox, Planet B) and vocalist MattCronk (Qui) are back with new guitarist Koko Arabian andbassist Rico Adair for their sophomore release. Following their 2019 debut, ‘Cunts’, CNTS were able tosqueeze in one short tour before the world went on hold. Thelockdown was spent recording and plotting, in preparation forfuture CNTS endeavours. However, all plans would be shelvedwhen Matt Cronk was injured in a car wreck, resulting in asurgical mishap leaving him with a paralyzed vocal cord, unableto speak, let alone sing. CNTS heavy-heartedly announced theirdemise. During this period the members of CNTS pursued otherprojects until winter 2023 when, against the predictions of hisdoctors, Cronk’s injured vocal cord began to heal and within twomonths his voice returned. By March CNTS felt confident thatthey could give it another go. Reinvigorated by Cronk’s recovery and their new lineup, CNTSspent the rest of the year hard at work on their new record,‘Thoughts & Prayers’, the title inspired by the banality of ourcollective reaction to crises. With a great deal of inspiration fromtheir recent challenges, CNTS have channelled several years offrustration and hardship into a well-articulated and aggressivestatement. Songs such as ‘Smart Mouth’ and ‘Thoughts & Prayers’chronicle Cronk’s pain and anger throughout his various injuriesand subsequent recovery. ‘I Won’t Work For You’ and ‘EatingYou Alive’ deal with the inequity inherent in modern life. ‘For AGood Time (Don’t Call Her)’ is a screed about the age-oldtheme of fighting with one’s romantic partner. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Thank you for looking at our listing, below are a few points to consider before making a purchase:- All records we sell are Brand New - pre-orders will normally come sealed but if you are purchasing in stock items, please note the copy may have been unsealed for display in the shop.
