Crucial Times

Crucial Times is a hardcore punk band with an explicitly street-style punk attitude. Based out of DFW, this DIY ethos-driven sound comes at you hard and fast, just like punk rock and hardcore should. The trio consists of musicians whose collective background unreservedly forces you to ride on their bullet train to raw aggression.
