Hyperbolic words to describe a hyperbolic scenario
New York stoner-punk band Krylls may have been born a little too late when we formed in late 2004. Harking back to a time when bands were allowed to be frumpy dressers as long as they delivered balls-to-the-wall rock and roll, our humble trio of un-pierced non-stoners explodes into a wild brimstone frenzy on stage.
The music starts with propulsive rhythms and relentless if sometimes off-kilter rock riffs. Go ahead, nod your head. Go ahead, slamdance! Gritty, psychedelic guitar tones follow, topped with our two voices assuming several characters, sometimes snarling back and forth.
Guitarist Sean Allen found bassist Josh Garrett-Davis and drummer Joe Corbo to rekindle Krylls from the ashes of an earlier version of the band. We began playing shows in 2005 with a lead singer but soon found we preferred life as a power trio. Sean brings Maine backwoods and Texas boogie roots to the band, Josh brings de-railed South Dakota storytelling, and Joe holds that wide American map down with solid Long Island iced attitude. Some lyrics feature scuzzy animals and rednecks from Josh and Sean’s rural America, wheat-pasted against sarcastic politics (a la a more deranged Dead Kennedys) and someone’s giddy id. Yow!
We have been playing around the Northeast over the past couple of years.
Call it contrapunk, neo-grunge, paleo-hardcore, sensitive stoner metal or post-biker rock, but it’s a hell of a ride, live or on your stereo.
PS- Along with “fashion sense” that’s more mud-flap than mod, we retain punk rock’s quaint DIY ethic. We do all the work on this myspace page, we’ll write you back if you write to us, we book our own shows (unless you want to book one for us!), and we even recorded a new EP ourselves! It’s called Krylls. It has five songs. We’ll send it to you for five bucks.
