Crush the Serpent is a Birmingham metalcore and post-hardcore band held together by years of real friendship, old-school roots, and a genuine love for the local scene they came up in.

Stay Lost woke up one morning and their song had 50,000 streams overnight. They didn't see it coming. Nobody did.

My Reply recorded their original demo in 2008, uploaded it to Myspace, and then essentially buried it in a box for 16 years. What pulled it back out — and what the band did with it — is a story that earns every minute of your attention.
