THE INVENTORS OF CRABCORE?
Thursday, October 15th, 2009 at 12:30pm by Vince NeilsteinMS reader Ajax sent us a link to a video filmed in 2007 of the band In Truth Be Valor, showcasing what might be the first recorded instance of the crab-crouch.
This video is hysterical for a million reasons, BUT…
- It’s hilarious when the camera zooms out around the 0:50 mark and there’s all of 6 kids (I counted) standing there watching, motionless!
- “Everybody get your hands up!”
- Crab-crouch around 1:10.
- The “singing.”
- Everything.
- etc.
So there you have it. The unsung heroes of a generation. Blame them for Attack Attack!.

Thanks for ruining the rest of my day you fucking idiots. I watched 1:15 and that was about 1:20 too long.
Is this seriously not an early version OF Attack! Attack!?…. they do the exact same shit…
i don’t think the ‘audience’ could’ve stood more still – and it’s never good when the number of people in the ‘audience’ is outnumbered by the people in the band playing. very sad.
Thats exactly what I was thinking. I mean come on, someone could bang a head in sympathy.
This singer is the exact reason why we have auto-tuning.
But Yes, this is exactly the same shit in the Attack Attack video……………………………………………………
They got crabs from the crab crouch they did on eachother’s faces with their crabby pouches.
Why at 1:08 does he say, i’m stupid
Because he’s fucking stupid, only stating the obvious
Because he said “Everybody get your hands up!” and nobody did… haha…
Not knowing when this band started, Attack Attack official formed in 2005 so it’s possible In Truth Be Valor copied Attack Attack.
This video was from 07. The infamous crab video came out this year.
The singer guy has to be the one that has the P.A. and practice space and the band cant afford to kick him out and lose that stuff. He is not good and there is no other reason he is in that band.
In Crabbing Be Failure
Just about every single thing in life that is made popular by one person/band was done many times many years before by other people. The band that becomes popular doing something is very very rarely the one that invented something. The underground and local music scene is where you find everything that becomes popular first, and a few years later when it catches the mainstream it comes out.
Robert Trujillo has claim on the ur-crab crouching.
Dammit, I was going to post that exact thing. Good call, good sir.
They even do the “guitar behind my head” move. Wow, apparently Attack Attack! have been around before 07, so I can’t be sure if they completely ripped off this shitty band or if this shitty band completely ripped off AA. In any case, why would someone want to emulate something so stupid?
They’re from Knoxville? God damnit. I hope I never cross their paths.
Sadly, I know one of the kids from the band. He thought it would be a good idea to show me this video. He went to Seymour, if you know where that is.
good to know, seymour is far enough away from knoxville i should never have to worry about hearin this stuff
Well he’s from Seymour. I think the other kids are all from around the Knox are. Regardless, they still blow. But I’m pretty sure they don’t do anything anymore so no one should have to worry.
for some reason I almost watched this entire video before it hit me . “why the hell am I watching and listening to this crappy band?”
I felt like I was at a high school battle of the bands all over again
Does it look like they are playing at some family reunion to anyone else but me?
I love a good one note breakdown….oh the creativity!
If he can do vocals WITHOUT cuffing the mic, i’d say he can do decent grunts. And there were 7 people. Not 6, 7 people to see this shit band play at what it seems to be a parking lot for a catholic festival
1 minute 16 seconds just gone… gone… And I will never get them back….
The crowd was comprised of their moms and grandmas.
i believe the “crowd” were judges…… considering it was a battle of the bands. and they were at a table. with papers and shit…. just saying…. yeah the music is horrible. who didnt see that coming
Fuck this generation.
I’m almost positive when the sound cuts out during that epic breakdown, it’s because they all knocked out their cables during that sick synchronized guitar flip.
Can I ask another question about all these bands – what is it w/ the singers not wearing shoes? The bottoms of their feet must have more warts than a fuckin toad. Also – @ around 1:19 – does he say something about his “vagina”?
More like “CrapCore” . I think my life is forever changed, this is the only time I have been thankful Slayer killed my ear drums this summer.
