Jeff Rosenstock, the punk maestro extraordinaire, has just added another feather to his musical cap by crafting the soundtrack for Cartoon Network's latest gem, "Craig Before the Creek: An Original Movie." Hold onto your headphones; this is not your average musical endeavor.
Jeff's trusty Death Rosenstock band, along with a stellar lineup of guests, including Soul Glo’s Pierce Jordan, Catbite’s Brittany Luna, and more, join forces in this 39-track masterpiece. Jeff cheekily describes it as, "FOR FANS OF Ennio Morricone, DRI, English Beat, Wendy Carlos, Atari Teenage Riot, Iron Maiden & John Williams all hucked into a bowl, hand-blended, turned into frosting and spread across the biggest sugar cookie you’ve ever seen!"
This is not your typical soundtrack; it's a musical rollercoaster featuring "SONGS!! DRUMS!! PIANO!! STRINGS!! WINDS!! HORNS!! BELLS!! GUITARZZZ!! EVERYTHING!!" Jeff invites you to think of the soundtrack as a double LP and the playlist as the 7″ in punk terms.
Feel the punk vibes, listen to the entire soundtrack, and check out the “just songs” playlist. But before you dive into this musical adventure, catch a glimpse of the film synopsis:
Before he was the adventurous Craig of the Creek, he was just Craig - a new kid in a new town. All Craig wants is to go back to his old friends at his old home. But a lost treasure hidden near the creek holds the key to making his wish come true. Join Craig as he navigates perilous suburban wilderness, forges new friendships, and faces off against a fearsome band of pirates hell-bent on destroying the Creek itself.
Jeff Rosenstock, you've outdone yourself, and we're ready to set sail on this musical creek adventure!
