Every so often, a song shows up not to politely knock on the door, but to kick it off its hinges. Enter Asthma Kids and their feral, fist-raising new track, “Crumbs and Morsels (The Meek Are Getting Ready Pt IV)”. From the first guitar strike, it delivers the kind of rock that crawls under your skin and dares you to do something about it. The guitars spark and slash, the rhythms bounce with reckless freedom, and the vocal line refuses the usual paths, choosing instead to howl, sneer, and ignite whatever part of your soul had started to nap.
This is rock music with a pulse and a purpose. It’s alive, itchy, you feel it in your legs before your brain has time to catch up—suddenly you’re standing, moving, ready to shake the furniture and question the furniture maker. There’s urgency here, an almost physical sense of emergency, as if the song itself is saying: now or never. They turn frustration into momentum and give a soundtrack to that quiet moment when you decide the established order might need a serious rearranging.
The cinematic video that accompanies the track doubles down on that tension. Shot in downtown Toronto with a raw, punk instinct, it feels handmade, human, and fiercely artistic. Masks, movement, and a run-and-gun aesthetic collide to create a visual world that mirrors the song’s restless spirit. It’s not glossy rebellion—it’s street-level, urgent, and real.
With “Crumbs and Morsels,” Asthma Kids are sounding an alarm. And once you hear it, it’s hard not to feel like getting ready too:
