Music Review: Crestillion and Ejectorseat

Today's bands are bands where I have been followed by current or former members of the band, then reviewed other bands they were in. These bands may not even be active now, but I still felt like I should review them. (They did require some more searching.)

Music making is a process rife with change. Just because something is no longer happening doesn't mean that it never happened or never mattered. Becoming disconnected from it, though, is still possible.

Crestillion

Crestillion is a rock duo from Stockholm that was once a quartet. At some point after that change, there were plans for regrouping and doing more, but nothing else has been posted since 2019. 2020 did undo a lot of plans.

More songs appear to have been done with the duo.

The music is very synthy and auto-tuned I would say more dance than rock. It is still fun to listen to, with a profundity to the lyrics that often happens with Scandinavian bands singing in English.

Ejectorseat

Ejectorseat is more of a traditional rock sound, and pretty pounding with their charting single, "Attack! Attack! Attack!".

Their most recent Facebook post is from 2016 about listening to The Further, which two of their members were in, so it appears that whatever happened to the band, good feelings were maintained.

As there is also an Ejector Seats band and label, it is easy to find the wrong music. You can find three tracks on Spotify, but it does not have "Not My Girl", which I could only find on Youtube (and under the Ejector Seats topic). 

That doesn't mean that they are not worth checking out, and they will get a song of the day. It is just something to keep in mind when you are listening.
