Crippling Alcoholism

Gothic noise rockers CRIPPLING ALCOHOLISM are proud to announce their new album 'Camgirl,' due out on September 12th via Portrayal of Guilt. Hailing from the underbelly of New England, blending punishing dissonance with pop transcendence, the sextet was originally formed in 2022 by vocalist Tony Castrati and drummer Danny Sheras a bleak and harrowing exploration of sound and psyche. Their debut album, ‘When the Drugs that Made You Sick are the Drugs that Make You Better,’ was raw and melancholy, steeped in noise, goth, and despair, that quietly circulated through niche music boards, earning a cult following.

Now, the band's upcoming album ‘Camgirl’ tells the tragic, sordid tale of "Bella Pink," an online performer whose story unfolds through the eyes of those who consume her: lovers, relatives, business partners, and stalkers. Musically, the album trades the Americana-tinted dirges of their earlier work for the neon sweat of the club, embracing dance music, party pop, and synthetic ecstasy. But beneath the gloss, ‘Camgirl’ is a body-horror portrait of lust, power, exploitation, and disintegration. It's the band’s most accessible and most disturbing work to date.
