Album Notes

"Behind the cover is a rumbling noir-wave notebook of dark mysteries."
-Lee Valentine Smith, Georgia Music Magazine

"Sounds that were at one time considered passe are now new again — and actually refreshing."
-Jon Dawson, Performer Magazine

"Incorporating the anxious atmospherics into a sound that invites comparisons to other bands without slavishly imitating any of them."
-Kevin Forest Moreau, Sunday Paper

"They do put their heart into it, resulting in some ass-shaking jams and dark lyrics that actually sound convincing."
-Mark Sanders, Creative Loafing (Atlanta)

"Back to the shade again, just in time to catch Slow Motion Crash…Another jaw dropping moment."
-David Anjo, (Voodoo Festival Reviewer)

"Stark and powerful...adding their own energy to create a unique and powerful sound."
-Will Mason, Performer Magazine


“One of the reasons you look out the window at night when you’re way up in the sky is the hope that you’ll catch a glimpse of some kind of celestial object that will be unfamiliar, a new molecule in an ocean of old. You know what the aisle looks like: that’s not what you want to see. This time, you catch that sensation of discovery. The propeller jams, the wings force a dip. The nose begins to dive. Fuel vapor in your face, your eyes water. You see it as it happens, but it seems stretched. This is slow motion crash.”
- Richard Bataille


Made from the building blocks of Brian Fisher (vocals, guitar), Ryan Holmes (guitar, vocals), Melissa Giorgio (bass), Joshua Broughton (keys, vocals) and Jason Curtis (drums), Slow Motion Crash has combined serious song crafting sensibility with a quirky, eccentric indie feel. The band has created a bottom-heavy sound, featuring a precise layering of melodic and discordant guitar riffs punctuated by semi-electronic landscapes and dance-laden drums.

Slow Motion Crash’s self-titled record has been released to rave reviews in the cloistered Georgia music scene by publications including Georgia Music Magazine, Performer, and Creative Loafing. With its thought-provoking lyrics that grab and tease and meandering guitars that push and pull, the record has a sexy, claustrophobic sound that’s somehow simultaneously kinetic and languid. Combining elating highs and abysmal lows, the band has created a piece that inspires and jars from start to finish.

Slow Motion Crash’s live show is as impressive as their studio work. Merging a blood-pumping, energetic performance with such accessible songwriting has garnered the band a wide, multi-demographic following. Drawing as much from the dynamic alternative music audience as from the ultra-hip indie rock scene as from the depths of the goth horde, SMC’s pounding, stuttering rhythms have forcefully driven and sweetly persuaded star-eared concert goers from the Southeast to Midwestern US.
