Housing Crash – Creeper

This is “Creeper” by Istanbul-based Housing Crash. Starting off sounding like a love song, it quickly becomes clear it’s something altogether more sinister – as the band say the song is aimed at “those who confuse love with control”.

The band are Matt Loftin – bass, vox, Todd Gibson – guitar, Paul Osterlund – guitar and Murat Yakupoglu – drums. No idea how some of these guys ended up in Instanbul, maybe they’ll tell us. Hmmm.
