Of the track, guitarist Mike Assatly says, _“it’s about those hot summer days when
you have nothing in the world to do and everything feels slow but monumental, trapped
inside your own mind while the world spins around you.”_

**About Crescent Ridge** 
Is it okay to love and hate your hometown at the same 
time? Growing up in the Boston Massachusetts suburb Stoughton, Crescent Ridge has
struggled with this duality for pretty much their entire lives. While being so influenced
by your environment and whole-heartedly hating mostly everyone around you at the
same time isn’t totally unique to them, it is a driving factor in the song writing
that Crescent Ridge delivers on “Garden of Fools”, their debut LP.

Heading into the studio just nine months following the release of Days End, Crescent
Ridge entered New Alliance Audio in Somerville Massachusetts. Only the second time
being in the studio as a band, they put their head’s down and got to work over the
course of three days. “Writing these songs had started more than a year prior when
we were all unemployed and uncertain of what the future would hold. That gave us
the opportunity that not a lot of newer bands have when they’re constantly practicing
for and playing gigs, which was to write non stop and really gel as a group”, Derek
Schepeci (vocals, guitar) says about the writing and recording process. With Chris
Johnson (Deafheaven, Dwelley) at the helm of engineering and producing, the band
got to work on the soon-to-be 10 song album. “Chris is a total work horse and absolute
class act. Being able to bounce ideas off him and his patience with us can’t be 
over state” [Derek] Schepeci recalls about his time in the studio.

“Stoughton has no home. We’ve never truly fit the mold and I think Crescent Ridge
is pretty in line with that”, guitarist Mike Assatly says of playing in a band that
is stylistically different than the majority of bands he’s played in previously.“
It’s always funny finding your niche, which isn’t necessarily different in this 
band [Crescent Ridge] compared to my punk/hardcore side” Assatly continues. This
rings true when comparing songs like ‘Bleach’ and ‘Big Feeling’. Whether you enjoy
Quicksand or The Lemonheads, Crescent Ridge falls somewhere in between.

Everyone has something of their own they bring to the Crescent Ridge table. “It 
started to feel like it was time to move on and leave it all behind. Being on this
side of things has been a good reminder of why I’m still doing this shit and I’m
glad it’s with a bunch of Stoughton freaks” Chris Gill (bass), comparing his time
spent traveling nationally with bands and playing in Crescent Ridge. “I wanna go
full speed for twenty minutes and I want people to feel it when we play”, Gill says
on wanting to perform with raw, unfiltered energy.

The album finds itself being loud while still dynamic, never distracting you from
what is actually going on. It flows like a rollercoaster, giving you just enough
time to catch your breath before taking the next sharp plunge. ‘Big Feeling’, the
upbeat no frills single, keeps the energy high while tracks like ‘Freak Out’ and‘
Suddenly’ both clocking in at nearly five-and-a-half minutes each, keep you guessing
what the next move is. In their debut ‘Garden Of Fools’, Crescent Ridge has something
to prove and it’s that they are here for the long haul whether you want them or 
not.
