Kirby Krackle Sets Geekdom to Music

Nerd-Based Rock Music...it's not just for Harry Potter fans anymore!

Last weekend at NY Comic Con, I had a chance to pick up the debut album from Kirby Krackle, a pop rock duo that writes songs about things we can all relate to, including:

• Shooting people with the Blue Shell in Mario Kart
• The zombie apocalypse
• Becoming fed up with Event comics
• Playing Wii in a sexual context with your significant other

This is all well and good, you might say, but how's the rockage? Well, it's not Street Fighter: The Rock Opera, but KK certainly has some good hooks and snappy production quality for an independent debut. Stand-out tracks include Marvelous Girls, an ode to the more exotic girls of the Marvel Universe (the Genoshan verse is my favorite) and Another New Crisis, a heartfelt plea for Marvel and DC to ease up on the events.

Give em a listen with this handy widget, or you can head over to KirbyKrackleMusic.com for more info.





PS: If you have any lingering doubts about Kirby Krackle's Geek Cred, just know that I asked lead singer/guitarist Kyle Stevens what his favorite comic on the stands is, and his responce was The Walking Dead. That's a good answer. These guys check out.
