Even though Beat Crusaders called it quits in 2010, it took watching the last live video they had to realize that I hadn’t listened to the band for some time.

2003′s Best Crusaders is twenty-eight tracks of some of the best early Beat Crusaders songs. While three of the songs are live recordings, the band never stops with their distinct punk/synth/rock style.

Even through the thirteen years that they were a band, lost members, and gained new ones; their sound has always been distinct and Best Crusaders shows the first part of their legacy.

There isn’t a song not worth hearing on the album, and everyone should get to know the band because it’s definitely worth it.
