Consisting of Richard Ruß (vocals), Markus Schukowski (lead guitar), Niklas Samlad (rhythm guitar), Franz Borjan (bass guitar) and Lars Steinfurth (drums), Five Crumbs is an alternative rock band from Greifswald, Germany. Founded in 2017, they set out to create a modern and unique sound by combining modern rock riffs with elements from styles outside of the genre.
Their previous releases (2 EPs and one single) fascinated rock fans around the world and got lots of positive reviews. They worked with the renowned producer Jeffro Lackscheide for both EPs and were featured on different music blogs and online magazines with their single „Monster“.
Their new release „Gravity“ has a more upbeat feel to it compared to previous songs of the band, but still has that dark vibe they’re known for. They went for a fierce blend of heavy rock riffs and electronic elements, creating an exciting listening experience.
This song is about times when you can’t really complain about your life and all the things you have, but you just can’t feel satisfaction and eventually drift away if you lose grip of reality. It’s a roller coaster of emotions both musically and lyrically.
I’d say the song is definitely catchy and well-shaped. The intro is atmospheric and, although short, it captures your imagination, followed by a beat that keeps you hooked. The lead singer’s voice is very expressive, which makes the vocals attractive. The lyrics are thought-provoking: I feel like they really make you reflect upon the times you are dissatisfied, even if you don’t really have a clear reason, which are perfectly balanced with the rhythmic and varied instruments (I think it is great considering that electronic music isn’t really my cup of tea).
Overall, I’d say that they really showed off their talent and imagination with this song and the band’s totally worth checking out. You can find the links below!
