Krack (DJ Bailey)

Let's talk about some music.

Any listener of Getting It Out podcast will know that I love Baltimore City and the Baltimore City hardcore and punk rock scene.

And with this podcast, I've done my best to document a lot of the major players past and present, really through several different genres, several different characters.

We're talking Dying Fetus, Stout, Reptilian Records, Trapped Under Ice, Next Step Up, Gut Instinct, Misery Index, lesser known bands like asthma castle or mast year newish hardcore bands like end it or jive bomb but i recognize i'm missing a lot of the beginning and one of the bands that always comes up in that conversation is crack so now they've been active for about a year or getting close to it i finally reached out to them and much to my delight they were very responsive and we set it up quickly and now i am thrilled to present to you a conversation with crack vocalist dj bailey And I'm going to get to that.

But of course, I got to play you a track.

And this one is going to come off of the band's first demo.

And the recording's a bit rough.

And I'm not sure how it's going to get compressed by the time it gets on a podcast player.

I got to point this out.

I got to say this.

I only noticed recently.

It was back two episodes ago with the Smirk episode when I was really excited to re-listen to that, to hear that Abide song.

Excellent track, by the way.

Great, great song.

And I noticed it comes through all fucked up.

It's all compressed weird.

Certain parts are amplified more than others.

The leads kind of get buried when anything else happens.

I don't know what's going on setting wise with anything.

I don't know why that's happening.

I don't know if it's always been happening and I just noticed it now.

I know a little bit of compression is always expected when I upload these large files as MP3s already.

I'm compressing them.

Then it's getting sent to the server that does whatever.

I don't know what they even do.
