Crappy Dracula
There are two kinds of stupidity—intentional and unintentional—and it actually takes quite a bit of smarts to pull off the former without being completely unbearable. Milwaukee punk-rock trio Crappy Dracula pulls off the trick perfectly on the just-released Fantastic Dracula!, which gleefully tackles such pressing subjects as blimp heists, computers that watch television, and funeral homes equipped with free Wi-Fi. Musically, the band has moved away from the lo-fi scuzz-punk of its debut album, Almost, and embraced a cleaner—though no less irreverent—sound that calls to mind the best work of early Dead Milkmen. The result is one of the catchiest, most enjoyable local releases of the year.
