Cold Crank - Kung Pao Kitty

Review by Alan English

Cold Crank's latest album, Kung Pao Kitty, is a wild ride through their signature style of garage punk. The band's raw energy and irreverent sense of humor are on full display throughout the record, which features 12 tracks of blistering guitar riffs, pounding drums, and snarling vocals.

From the opening track, "Meow Mix," it's clear that Cold Crank is not here to take themselves too seriously. The song is a catchy, tongue-in-cheek ode to feline nutrition that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other standout tracks include "Kung Pao Kitty," a raucous anthem that will have listeners shouting along to its infectious chorus, and "Cat Lady Blues," a slower, bluesy number that showcases the band's versatility.

One of the most impressive things about Kung Pao Kitty is how well Cold Crank balances their punk rock attitude with their musical chops. The band members are clearly skilled musicians, and they use their technical abilities to elevate their songs above the average garage punk fare. The guitar solos on tracks like "Scratchin' Post" and "Purrfect Day" are particularly impressive.
