Vienna's DeeCRACKS will be celebrating 20 years with a triple 10-inch record release entitled, 20 Years. A Frantic Effort -- available this Fall on Pirates Press Records. The release will be a retrospective of their favorite songs over the years, as well as 2 new tracks. The first, "Burnt Out" is described as being "about facing your demons" while "Where We Belong" is "a straight-up love song." While the release is a collection of old songs, the band has gone back and re-recorded all those songs to make for a more consistent-sounding release. Mike Dee Crackus (Drums) comments;
We decided to revisit our career and re-recorded our favorites and what we think are the band's classics, as well as two completely new songs. This way, we have songs from 2003 up until 2023 on one album...and in one great sounding production.
Matt DeeCrack (Guitar/Vox) adds:
We decided to record some songs a little closer to how we would do them live but give them the studio treatment. Finding out that some songs actually do sound good when properly produced was a pleasant surprise as well,
The band is even bringing in former guitarist, Marco Perdacher and former bassist, Manu for some contributions.
