Shins keyboardist Martin Crandall has been arrested after unleashing some new slang on his girlfriend, former America’s Next Top Model contestant Elyse Sewell. The violent domestic assault took place in a Sacramento hotel room and was described by the battered victim as ”a blitzkrieg of violence.” Nice description, Elyse. I’m sure your shitty boyfriend’s sissy slaps were remarkably similar to Hitler’s Lightning War.

According to NME, Sewell was also arrested for reportedly biting the rabid fancy piano player. It’s unlikely she will be charged, but Crandall is still jailed on twenty-five thousand dollars bail. He’ll officially appear before a local judge on January 8th.

We here at Cinema Blend Music don’t condone violence against women or tours being pushed back on account of ignorant eighteenth century behavior. I’m sure that asshole really feels like a badass now, as he’s being abused by prisoners who don’t carry around manbags with thought-provoking buttons. Prick.

The Shins’ album Wincing The Night Away is currently nominated for a Grammy. I’m sure this Ike Turner display really helped sway undecided voters.
