Best of Kanadiana

The end of another year means one thing, and one thing alone: top ten lists!

KRANG has somehow been included in a top ten list of the Best of Local/Kanadiana of 2009, on the Lethbridge blog Midnight Social. The list includes a slew of great bands (Mount Analogue, Moby Dicks, Sharp Ends), many of whom we played with in 2009.

We are just waiting for the finishing touches on our new EP (with guitar), which will be released on Eamon McGrath's Cassettes Records. In March, we are heading down to Mammoth Cave Recordings in Lethbridge to work on a 7'' with Paul and the gang.

Thanks to Sleepy Head and Midnight Social for thinkin' of li'l ol' KRANG.

Cold Bebop! Weird Canada!

Weird Canada review of Krangs first EP! COLD BEBOP.

From the private pantry of Dr. Jesse Locke:
Edmonton’s Krang began as a drum and bass (not D&B) duo featuring mustachioed main-men Jordan Foster and Jared Majeski, cheekily dubbing themselves the Two Man Electrical Band. However, it wasn’t until the enlisting of Zebra Pulse’s Parker Thiessen on cracked electronics, clarinet and manipulated kids toys that the trio truly cemented their sound. Now, with Foster and Majeski trading off tripped-out, heavily echoed vocals over hypnotic Sabbath riffs (dig the Master of Reality-influenced album art), lonely harmonica and what sounds like a malfunctioning robot squealing away abrasively high in the mix, these teenage mutants have raised the gnar bar high. [Levin's note: I like these dudes because they sound like German art-punk on meth.]

Thanks to Jesse Locke and Aaron Levin of Weird Canada.
