HERMITCRAB makes warped rock for people who like things that don’t sit still. The music blends groove, noise, and tension, sometimes heavy, sometimes absurd and always a little off. It’s loud, strange, and unpredictable, built from twisted rhythms and broken melodies that somehow still move. Every track crawls between seriousness and satire, finding peace in chaos.

No compromise. Raw.

When you find it hard to find music to really relate to, just make it yourself.

I like to capture the most present feeling of the day in a track.

Straight from the heart.
