Cold Wrecks

Brooklyn’s Cold Wrecks deliver emotional catharsis with a delirious grin, with their frantic energy balancing melancholy and reflective lyrics. The band is the result of far-too-long-lasting friendships. Singer-songwriters Craig and Mike started playing music together in the tenth grade, with CJ joining up shortly after, and the lineup solidifying after sneaking Matan into a show their old band was playing. The EP the four wrote together, ‘Tiny Refuge’ (re-released as Cold Wrecks in 2017) became the basis for their new project. Since the release of their 2016 debut album ‘Breaking’, they’ve kept themselves busy, releasing several EPs and singles, including their mental health manifesto “Therapy” (from 2017’s ‘Savannah’), and playing events such as The Fest in Gainesville FL and Pouzza Fest in Montreal. Their sophomore LP 'This Could Be Okay' found the band looking both inward and forward, with songs about growing, coping, freaking out, and learning. After a brief slowdown due to (gestures broadly), they finally were able to return to in-person collaboration, channeling the anxieties and frustrations of the past few years through music that is loud, angry, dancey, and moody on their new EP 'Feels Like Defeat.' Cold Wrecks’ top priority is as follows: just like, make sure everyone is having a nice/safe/affirming/fun time, you know?
