american crabcore

Inspired by Steven Blush's book "American crabcore: A exoskeleton history" Paul Rachman's feature documentary debut is a chronicle of the underground crabcore metal years from 2001 to 2009. Interviews and rare live footage from artists such as attack! attack! and whiny pussy.

Crabcore is a contemporary offshoot from the emocore/screamo sub-genre of hard rock music.


Unlike almost all other genres and sub-genres of music, crabcore is defined not by aural motifs, tones, lyrical content, or specific instrument ensembles; but rather by physical gesticulations and contortions of the arms and legs of individual band members during live performances of their music. Sometimes, the moves are synchronized between two or more band members.
