CD Reviews
The
Krank Squad - Less Talk, More Krank - 14-song CD
Produced by Peet Golan; Recorded at AREA51, Waltham, MA; Mastered by Ken Cmar
What a pain in the ass it was to extract this CD from its DVD-like type
container. Geez. So we’ve got some different kind of bent stuff draining from
this fearsome foursome. Love the drummer and - get this - the bass player
(occasionally) plays a big ol’ stand-up bass - you know one of those things
that looks like a giant violin; bet he wishes he chose flute in high school when
he’s got to carry that big hunk of krappe around (knock it off, L.A.). O.K.,
so the singer does a little rap deal on “Forklift Driver.” Gosh, that’s an
R&R subject that’s been sorely overlooked. Other rappy, rocky, twisted
toonz of note: “Can’t Stop The Tango,” “Cops On Crutches,” “Krank My
Torpeedo,” “The Outhouse,” and “She Kranks Me.” Not bad; not bad at
all.

(a note front the krank:
"It's amazing that people who randomly review our cd just don't get that
the band has three basses".)

| Hard to beat what we said
about that chick we had in here last week, but check this one out: Not
one, not two, but three bass players. Add one extremely stinky drummer
and you get Kranksquad, a veritable ugly farking orchestra.
Now, we all know that drummers beat things for a living-- making them barely one step above boxers as far as intellect is concerned-- and bass players...well... you know... so what we can't figure out is, without a single upper primate in the band, how these ugly bastards even get themselves to their shows, tie their shoes, etc. They must have one hell of a manager. A manager who speaks Gorilla. We tried to call to confirm this theory, but all we got was bleeding ears. No, seriously, these guys are making some seriously cool bass-heavy music. You should go look at their site: www.kranksquad.com Welcome to the Archive, Kranksquad! |

SOME GUY NAMED PHUC has been writing about DMK (Stalker
or not? You be the Judge.)

They shut up. When we got up to leave, I observed that one of the guys looked like a 6' tall linebacker. Fortunately, DMK looks like a 6'2" cannibal.
The lesson: Always bring a large, scary friend to a movie where you're afraid
that the dateless wonder brigade will interfere with your enjoyment of what's
on the screen.
