ALBUM PROFILES
 The Cryptkeeper Five - "the unbeatable cry"
The Cryptkeeper 5 have already put out the album of the year for 2012, and we aren't even out of winter yet. How is this band not the biggest thing in the world?? Amazing songs, vocals that jump out and grab you by your throat and shake you, up, down, and all around, and well..I'm at a loss for words when it comes to describing how great this record is. Which doesn't happen often. I can talk a nun into buying a ticket to a swingers convention, yet how can I turn that power to good, and convince everyone that loves music to buy this record?? The CK5 had already put themselves into lofty company in my mind with the release of Darker Days/The Rise Of Palace Depression. A double album that hangs in my heart right up there with Rocket To Russia, Pet Sounds, Walk Among Us, and Darkness On The Edge Of Town. I could use all sorts of metaphors and descriptions, but I think those comparisons already give you an indication of what sort of tuneage resides in the rock and roll bowels of this band. The Unbeatable Cry rightfully takes it's place amongst that hit parade. You need this. You really, really need this.
Rating 10/10. My album of the year. Yeah, it's been out since last November, but since I acquired it now, it counts as 2012. Ok, music world, you have 10 months to beat this. I'll console you in December when you don't. - Jay Ingstrup

HAIL HAIL ROCK AND ROLL The Cryptkeeper Five, from Trenton New Jersey, have drawn on influences from all these bands and many more to create a sound that can only be considered their own... The CK5 have toured extensively on the east coast and mid-west in support of several full length releases and have created a loyal cult following both domestically and abroad. They have been continually featured on CD compilations and have received significant radio airplay. Between 2000 and 2005, they were nominated by the Asbury Park Music Awards in several distinct categories, such as "best live performance", "best avante garde act", "best punk/ska band", "best roots/twang act" and "best garage band". The hard work and many miles have poised them for worldwide notoriety. |
