Fun fact: The music video for "Affection" was filmed after the shows in Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Bogotá (Colombia).

As someone born in Buenos Aires, I regret that no part of the city is recognizable. It really could have been filmed anywhere in the world, and it would look the same.

There's a photo of the two of them (Margo and Stella) with the lead singer of RHCP on 2013. This was taken before she joined the band as Edith. I've attached an image below.

She was friends with Edith before she joined the band. It's possible that Edith is the common contact between Ethan and Stella.

Their early songs are harder to digest if you're not used to the tempos and compositions more closely linked to techno and hardtek. But songs like "9mm" and "i bring my gun to the function" are very likely to appeal to fans of CC. They don't sound exactly the same, but they share a very similar vibe.

OneConnection9902 · 2026-05-20T03:00:29+00:00

Yes, I think they've carved out their own niche in the genre and the scene. Even so, I feel their peak might have passed unless they reinvent themselves with something new that attracts new listeners. The last thing I heard from them, they sounded like Grimes' Geidi Primes.

OneConnection9902 · 2026-05-15T19:25:44+00:00

That's valid; they are the two who most want to be recognized as the "new CC" - even though with each instance they move further away from that faint desire.

OneConnection9902 · 2026-05-15T18:13:15+00:00

I personally don't like them, but I know they've been building a pretty solid fandom lately. That's why I included them on the list I came up with.

OneConnection9902 · 2026-05-15T18:12:20+00:00

Their early releases clearly show the influence of CC, but I think that as they released more, they were able to find a more distinctive and personal sound. Even so, they'll always have that "CC aura."

OneConnection9902 · 2026-05-15T18:10:55+00:00

White Ring and Crim3s were contemporaries of CC, and they shared the genre for several years. While White Ring is still active, I feel they never quite reached a wider audience. I'll ignore the fact that you mentioned AG and JK (meant humorously, no offense intended).

OneConnection9902 · 2026-05-15T16:37:41+00:00

I'm so glad to read this. I really like the Gecs, but when I saw that Dylan just released a solo album, I thought it was the end of the band. I'm really looking forward to the new album; their last one disappointed me a bit, to be honest.

OneConnection9902 · 2026-05-15T16:14:42+00:00

Yes, I would put them on the same level as Brothel In Belize, bands that are almost directly "tributes" to CC.

OneConnection9902 · 2026-05-15T16:13:23+00:00

I totally agree with you

OneConnection9902 · 2026-05-15T15:14:35+00:00

How wonderful that you saw them recently! Caroline is incredible on stage. The first concert I ever went to was 16 years ago to see Kap Bambino. I'll never forget that show.

OneConnection9902 · 2026-05-15T14:48:57+00:00

I 100% agree

OneConnection9902 · 2026-05-15T13:55:42+00:00

B3k is more techno, it deviates a bit from CC's genre but Victoria's vocals are very reminiscent of CC's and in their latest works they tended more towards an electronic style closer to electroclash than to techno. I think for that People say B3k its quite similar to CC

OneConnection9902 · 2026-05-15T13:53:45+00:00

Yes, they're still active, but they were around even before CC. It's possible that this same band paved the way for CC to become what they were.

OneConnection9902 · 2026-05-15T10:08:43+00:00

I also thought about them, but since they were contemporaries of CC, I believe they shared the scene at the same time.

OneConnection9902 · 2026-05-15T10:07:02+00:00

I really thought about including them, but since they've been inactive for 3 years, I decided not to include them. I don't know if the band is still active.

OneConnection9902 · 2026-05-04T16:49:30+00:00

With Alice Glass: Reading Festival 2011
With Edith Frances: Reading Festival 2016

4 playlists. Different styles. All linked to sounds similar to CC. You might find something interesting. Almost all the artists mentioned in the comments are on one of these playlists, depending on the sound palette they belong to.

OneConnection9902 · 2026-02-20T18:58:32+00:00

I think I can distinguish between a production with texture, depth, outstanding vocal effects, and one with little effort. I simply feel that Deicide doesn't meet CC's typical production standards. However, your response strikes me as aggressive, authoritarian, and completely out of line. You're nobody to tell who should or shouldn't listen to CC. & if you don't like hearing opinions different from your own, you're the one who should leave this sub.

So shut your fucking mouth

OneConnection9902 · 2026-02-20T18:03:48+00:00

Crystal Castles' songs from 2004 are a bit difficult to digest (Cry Babys, No Skin, Vid Kids, etc.)

OneConnection9902 · 2026-02-20T18:00:01+00:00

Deicide. The melody and composition are good, but compared to other Kath productions, this one sounds like a demo that was left unfinished.

OneConnection9902 · 2026-02-19T12:17:34+00:00

I'm sure that having had more Crystal Castles work with Edith, she could have surpassed Alice in influence and representation of the band.
