 After a whirlwind of tragedies, both global and personal,
guitarist Mike Crain (Dead Cross, Retox, Festival Of Dead
Deer), drummer Kevin Avery (Retox, Planet B) and vocalist Matt
Cronk (Qui) are back with new guitarist Koko Arabian and
bassist Rico Adair for their sophomore release.

 Following their 2019 debut, ‘Cunts’, CNTS were able to
squeeze in one short tour before the world went on hold. The
lockdown was spent recording and plotting, in preparation for
future CNTS endeavours. However, all plans would be shelved
when Matt Cronk was injured in a car wreck, resulting in a
surgical mishap leaving him with a paralyzed vocal cord, unable
to speak, let alone sing. CNTS heavy-heartedly announced their
demise. During this period the members of CNTS pursued other
projects until winter 2023 when, against the predictions of his
doctors, Cronk’s injured vocal cord began to heal and within two
months his voice returned. By March CNTS felt confident that
they could give it another go.

 Reinvigorated by Cronk’s recovery and their new lineup, CNTS
spent the rest of the year hard at work on their new record,
‘Thoughts & Prayers’, the title inspired by the banality of our
collective reaction to crises. With a great deal of inspiration from
their recent challenges, CNTS have channelled several years of
frustration and hardship into a well-articulated and aggressive
statement.

 Songs such as ‘Smart Mouth’ and ‘Thoughts & Prayers’
chronicle Cronk’s pain and anger throughout his various injuries
and subsequent recovery. ‘I Won’t Work For You’ and ‘Eating
You Alive’ deal with the inequity inherent in modern life. ‘For A
Good Time (Don’t Call Her)’ is a screed about the age-old
theme of fighting with one’s romantic partner.
