BIO

Crab is a New York City band blending gritty post-punk energy with art-rock edge. Formed in 2023 by longtime collaborators Chris Aniftos, Captain Tunney, and Paul Aronson Their sound fuses jagged guitars, hypnotic rhythms, and raw, emotionally charged vocals—equal parts chaos and control.

Joined by Chuck Hughes on bass and David Hopp on drums, their self-titled debut (2023) and follow-up EP ApeApeApeApeApe (2025) capture the band’s mix of energy and haunting vulnerability.

Known for intense, unpredictable live shows, Crab captures the restless pulse of NYC’s underground scene with music that’s confrontational, magnetic, and deeply human.

Unlimited is the first single out of Crab’s collaboration with Stephen Kurpis of Vitruvian Sound.

This song marks a stylistic departure from our last release, moving into a more textured, lush, and eclectic sound mixing elements of post-rock, shoegaze, art-rock, and indie rock.

Recorded at Vitruvian Sound in Ridgewood NY.

Engineered & Mixed by Stephen Kurpis at Vitruvian Sound NYC
