EXCLUSIVE DEBUT: THE GIRAFFES – “SMOKE MACHINE”

the giraffesWe confess: we didn’t know shit about The Giraffes until today. But we know good music when we hear it and we pride ourselves on diversity (within metal, that is); so when we were offered the opportunity to premier a new track by Brooklyn’s own The Giraffes, we jumped at the chance.

“Smoke Machine” from their forthcoming album Prime Motivator is a ripping blend of thrash, classic metal, punk and even elements of boogie/surf guitar. Fans of Metallica, Big Business and Clutch alike are about equally as likely to dig the eclectic blend of rock and metal The Giraffes have going on here.

Prime Motivator drops next Tuesday, November 11th on Crustacean Records; if you dig this track, we think you’ll dig the album too.

    You guys hit the sound pretty well. Giraffe sound like Clutch with a healthy dose of thrash, I’m a huge Clutch fan so this makes me want to hear a whole lot more.

    I don’t know how to describe this band, genre-wise, but I do know that song makes me want to hear more.

    Thanks for giving these Brooklyn boys a heads up. They are my favorite touring band, and I have had Prime Motivator for about six months and it is by far one of my top albums of the year. Their onstage antics, paired with a sound no one else in metal has makes these guys a tasty morsel of musical genius!

    Wow! had this song rolling around on the iPod and have loved it more each time. Crustecean’s put out some good records over the years (longtime Wisconsin label with lots of louder stuff from all genres). Will definitely be looking out for the full-length now that it’s out….
