Album Reviews
Carbon 14 Magazine by Rob Zero
With song titles like “Case of the Zombies”and “Empty Coffin,” you might expect this Arizona quintet to be yet another Misfits-influenced rock band. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. The Mission Creeps tread lightly through the oft-travelled landscape of horror rock with a unique, haunting sound that is the perfect soundtrack for a lonely car ride across the desert.
KZSU- Stanford, CA by Sadie O.
Horror surf garage rock with bluesy bits, and theremin, yay! It’s hard to tell how seriously to take these folks – a lot of it’s great fun, but some of it is fairly depressed. Lo-fi, in that there’s no attempt to make the vocals sound perfect (singer has a decent voice, mind you), and there’s definitely a major Cramps element.
Tucson Weekly by Stephen Seigel
Like a toned-down version of the Cramps by way of Deadbolt, the twangy, reverb-heavy guitar, Arrr’s genuinely sexy bellowing croon (à la Bauhaus’ Peter Murphy) and the band’s grinding rhythms all add up to something more than your standard clad-in-black, death-obsessed affair. The majority of songs here are slow-burning grinders that ooze sexual tension . . .
