Snap, Krackle, Rock!

It feels like just yesterday that we were just getting to know Kirby Krackle. Introduced to us at the last New York Comic Con; Kirby Krackle’s self-titled debut album was nothing short of a plethora of nerdy references which were then sprinkled diligently with catchy melodies and sweet guitar riffs. I was instantly a fan. Plus, these dudes rule!

Now fully equipped with Kirby Krackle’s new CD titled “E For Everyone”; I have to say that I’m entirely pleased with what this album has to offer. Their writing and musical style has only improved since the last installment. The lyrics remain as clever as ever, earning more than a few chuckles and smirks as a song progresses. The music seems to always hook me from the get-go, and I get the feel for the song immediately. The new tunes reference characters as obscure as Uatu, to mainstreamers such as Mega Man and the Thundercats.

The band has also tested the waters of some new musical territory this time around. The track “Roll Over” features GMK the Great, a rapper on the rise. GMK breaks the song down with a rap about all the fictional honeys he’s involved with at the club. This part turns out to be a ton of fun to listen to. It’s great that they’re welcome to collaborating and trying new things while instantly succeeding.

This is precisely the direction Kirby Krackle should be going in, and I think you should check this CD out. Sample it on Kirby Krackle’s site. On the left sidebar, you’ll find the music player along with their upcoming events and shows. Keep tabs on the band by following the Kirby Krackle twitter as well.

Their next event is the Emerald City Comic Con. Catch up with the guys and say hi! They’ll respond by rocking your socks off.
