KOOK by KOOK

"You should take that name for everything it implies. KooK is a wild, whimsical mix of freewheeling riffs, unhinged vocals, and sweet, sweet bluesy doom.

This six track album ranks right up there with the grit of last year’s Geezer LP, the wound-up energy of The Watchers’ Sabbath Highway, and the inventiveness of The Great Electric Quest’s Chapter 1."

-Billy Goate, Doomed and Stoned


"...KOOK proceeded through a rip-roaring set with all manner of weird sound effects being produced throughout by the vocals, guitar and bass, as the drums pounded out in all sorts of changing time signatures, bringing order out of chaos in a strangely melodic yet not-of-this-world sound. In one fell swoop my mind was stolen from me and I was hooked. Fast forward about eight or ten months...to one of my most anticipated album releases in quite some time.

So here I sit, pondering these six tracks… “Who does KOOK sound like” you might ask? That is a question that is hard to answer, KOOK ultimately, sound like KOOK, and that is a rare thing these days for a band to have so many familiar qualities yet sound completely different from everything else out there. Maybe it’s a conspiracy, maybe it’s a cult movement, maybe they’ve come to steal your mind!!! No, I’m sure it’s harmless. Why don’t you just sit down there and put these headphones on and stare into this eye of gold and let go of your thoughts for awhile? I promise, in a few minutes you’ll feel right as the rain…"

-Riffcaster, The Ripple Effect

Karl Larson-Guitar
Troy Aschenbrenner-Vocals
Eric Wilkins-Drums
Jeff Wilson-Bass

The incredible combination of volume, substance(s), and love for all things heavy. It's hard to boil down what we do into a few words. The music is rich, complicated, hypnotic, dark, spooky, sleazy, powerful, groovy, campy, blah, blah, blah....HEAVY.
