Speaking to Punknews about the track, Josh said, "Like most Scandals songs, “C.R.O.C.H.E.T.” started with a joke and a C chord. My partner is a hooker. She’s into W.I.P.S and Chains. Don’t get the wrong idea, it’s crochet."“C.R.O.C.H.E.T.” will hit streaming services on May 27. Listen to the song below!

Last month, Ruinous Time Blade released their debut full-length album Desacralize and with it, one of the heaviest and most politically charged records of the year. The Chicago-based extreme metal quartet (and pioneers of 6th wave emo) kick out nine no-holds-barred tracks that tear into the detrimental impact American imperialism has had and continues to have on life within the country and in the world at large. With intricate riffs, heavy drums (complete with plenty of blast beats), deep bass, and incredibly emotive vocal delivery, the band not only drives their message home but also offers their listeners an immense amount of catharsis. Desacralize is available digitally everywhere now. Punknews editor Em Moore caught up with drummer Keith and lead vocalist Rudie to talk about the album, being the antithesis of Journey, the vital need for community and solidarity, and so much more. Read the interview below!This interview between Em, Keith, and Rudie took place over Zoom in May. This is a transcription of their conversation and has been lightly edited for length and clarity.
