The Crumbs


The Crumbs "Sheila"



Florida's beloved own, The Crumbs. Around since the mid 1990's and apparently still around today according to their website (which hasn't been updated in a year) The Crumbs brought the pop punk flavor through the streets of Miami. Early on they were inspired by the likes of Screeching Weasel, The Saints and Ramones. Towards the beginning of their Lookout! Records career they started shifting gears into the rock n' roll punk arena, however, we'll look past this as their pop punk records were brilliant. Originally drummer Chuck Loose, in addition to being one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet has also played numerous legendary Florida Punk Bands (like Drug Czars and Chickenhead).

"Sheila" is from the "Get Tangled up" ep released on Far Out Records around 1995. Far Out Records was owned and operated by Tim from Against All Authority. They released many records by notable Florida punk bands like Gus, Against All Authority, Beltones, Bingo Mutt, Discount, etc. Sadly, Far Out Records is nowhere to be found online.

They were a good band! cause they were really honest about what they were doing. Most bands seems to be frontin' but not those cats. Florida was not a bad place if you were punk in the mid 90's I would see a couple bands a week it was real social and pretty decent.
