The guys will again be performing at Europe’s largest unsigned and tribute act festival with over 10,000 people expected to attend, the aptly named Glastonbudget Festival promises to be another eventful show for the band.
"With unapologetic thrashing bass and booming riffs, it’s easy to see why Crash Jacket christened themselves with such a name. Fusingelements of dance, funk, rock and hip-hop, their music is an experimental clash of sound that will unbalance your feet and blow your mind. Kasabian-esque vocals with a tinge of U2 and face melting guitar solos" left lion Magazine 2012
