Asbury Park indie rock band Bristler, featuring members of Yawn Mower and Dana Why, have shared “Crapshoot” from their second LP, Inside, Outside, Upside, Downside, out February 12, 2027 via Mint 400 Records.

Frontman Rudy Meier wrote the lyrics on a Midwest tour in his mid-20s, wondering if he’d made the right call pursuing music. Finger-tapped guitar and shifts in rhythm and dynamics keep the song moving. It’s a good one to check out if you’re into Death Cab for Cutie or The Appleseed Cast.
