INTERROBANG 7"

"It's not too far off to think of Criminal IQ Records as building a house in the Dangerhouse, early Posh Boy, early Frontier subdivision of music. They haven't yet released anything that's bad, it's stylistically all in the same ballpark, but thier bands are definitely not retreaded radials of one another. The Krunchies are no exception- dual male/female vocals- the lady is an acquired voice (I like it), almost like if you put a microphone up to a fuzzy, baby chick (as in just-born chicken), amplified its voice, and made it angry- and couple it with spastic bass lines and guitar work that sounds like it's hooked up to a food processor (serrate, chop, blend, gallop). The music behind the vocals reminds me of the debut Red Cross EP mixed with early Plugz, if that's any help. I can't say anything bad about 'em. Rock solid EP. Look forward to more."

"The Krunchies are the sonic equivalent of a brutal beating. There's no need to overanalyze – it's simple call and response type songs with dual boy/girl screamers, slashing chords played at breakneck pace kept in line by ultra tight drumming (recorded perfectly by Jimmy Hollywood). And Amanda's voice is a weapon. Not since the days of Lorca's screaming in The Drags has a voice commanded my attention like hers. Come to think of it, had The Drags decided to go hardcore they wouldn't have sounded too far off from this. Very much worth your while." (JG) TERMINAL BOREDOM

"Two dicks and one chick, full speed and jangly guitars, and an inherent spazzed-out and lo-fi approach. Dangerous when mixed with alcohol. Do not operate heavy machinery..." (Wez Lundry) THRASHER MAGAZINE
