The Crystal Stilts aesthetic references include the artrock of The Velvet Underground, the gothic howl of psychobilly pioneers The Gun Club and the garage pop sensibilities of Jesus and The Mary Chain.
Formed in 2003 by lead vocalist Brad Hargett and guitarist JB Townsend, the duo released their debut single "Shattered Shine" with Sean Mafucci through their own label Feathery Tongue. They later released a 4-track EP, adopted keyboardist Kyle Forrester, bassist Andy Adler and ex Vivian Girls drummer Frankie Rose. Musically, their sound has been likened to a variety of different sources. More often than not, New Zealand's Flying Nun label (The Chills, The Bats) is cited as a big influence, especially as the band received the blessing of The Clean's Hamish Kilgour at their very first show.
Their aesthetic references also include the artrock of The Velvet Underground, the gothic howl of psychobilly pioneers The Gun Club and the garage pop sensibilities of Jesus and The Mary Chain.
