Twin Cities area punk band The Skullcranes announces the release date of their new album, Columbia Heights Nights, on Crustacean Records for Tuesday May 12th. The self proclaimed kings of “trailer park punk” The Skullcranes formed in the northern Minneapolis suburb of Columbia Heights back in 2000 and have been celebrating their blue collar and mildly self destructive roots ever since. Columbia Heights Nights is The Skullcranes fourth album and debut on Madison, Wisconsin label Crustacean Records.
Columbia Heights Nights follows in the vein of the previous releases with irresistible punk rock and roll anthems. Somehow melding together country, 70’s
classic rock and early 80’s East coast punk with a sprinkle of Auto Trader magazine, The Skullcranes are sure to make you want to dig out that muscle tee we all know you have tucked away in your closet. Columbia Heights Nights takes you on a ride in a huge gas guzzling pick up, drops you off at a bar where there is Belgian beer on special then slaps you around before leaving you at a giant house party in the northern suburbs of Minneapolis.
