CRUNCHY
CLOWN SCHOOL DROPOUT

By J Rock

Review: This band consists of former bass player from Galactic Cowboys.. which I was always a fan of.. even saw them play here in Florida at Livestock, back when "I'm Not Amused" was all over Mtv's Head Bangers Ball.. and all I remember from the show was this crazy ass bright red hair madman on stage.. Well that's Monty Colvin.. and after all these years I tracked him and his new band down.. This release is a mix of punk.. NuRock.. and pop rock.. it's full of fun lyrics and crunchy raw guitar riffs.. The production (by Monty also) is flawless... you can hear every single lyric he sings, crystal clear. The musicianship is great too.. oh wait Monty played all guitar, bass, and keyboards also... The songs fit right in with today's youth.. "Mall Punks", "Everything Breaks Down".. & "Popular Guy" all could be playing in high schools right now.. Crunchy should be huge.. if your a fan of Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, Green Day & all those other Punk / Pop Rock bands.. you'll love this release... It's a breath of fresh air! So he basically wrote, played, produced & did the artwork for this cd.. GO MONTY.. one man music machine.................

Favorite Songs: "A Better Place" great mellow.. almost ballad, great lyrics.. "Let's Go!" great opener.. "Psycho Ex-Girlfriend" is a trip.. and I've had a few myself... all in all I love all the songs!

Least Favorite Songs: None.. love them all..

Booklet: Cool simple cover... (And yes Monty painted them too) lyrics to all the songs, and some thanks.. good stuff!
