We are calling this genre we explore today as “Crackcore.” We admit, Crackcore is genuinely fun to listen to. They're also a mess of contradictions. We look at the complex human that is Scott Sturgeon aka. Stza Crack.

We use this artist, these bands, and genre to pull on a real tension: what happens when transgression becomes the whole identity? When the asshole stops being a tool and starts being the person? There's a line between destruction that clears the way for something and destruction that just leaves rubble. Crackcore bumps up against that line constantly, and sometimes blows right past it. Can you separate the art from the artist? We don't fully answer that. But we do ask whether you even should.
