Crochet is a contemporary screamo and math rock ensemble based in Las Vegas, Nevada. Formed by musicians with deep ties to the experimental and improvised noise scene (notably the band Body War), they bring a sophisticated, avant-garde sensibility to the 'skramz' revival.
Their sound is characterized by complex time signatures, clean-to-distorted guitar transitions, and a dual-vocal attack that emphasizes emotional volatility. Since their 2023 debut 'Birth Piece', they have become a pivotal name in the DIY hardcore circuit, bridging the gap between the technicality of Midwest math rock and the abrasive intensity of emo-violence. Critical consensus highlights their ability to maintain a sense of melody and atmosphere amidst chaotic rhythmic structures. They are part of a broader movement of bands redefining the genre through higher production standards while retaining a 'bedroom' intimacy. Their influence web connects back to 90s pioneers like Orchid or Saetia, but with a modern, jazz-informed rhythmic complexity that appeals to the current generation of experimental rock listeners.
