Ryan Sounds like 80's inspired dark surfer rock with a western flair. It's a fun listen. Nothing real complex. I think I hear a theremin...cool!

Colin M. A fantastic album of diverse tracks. Kreeps build a great atmosphere from the first note and don't let up, with gorgeous textures and melodies throughout. Love the Venture's-esque surf rock vibe and the shlocky B-movie creepshow atmosphere that reminds me of a slightly more mature take on the Misfits. Favorite track: Marilyn's Bed.

The Mad Professor Hard to pick a favourite track. Red dead redemption introduced me to Kreeps, and i'm hooked on the sound. Not a one trick pony band either. Criminally underrated Favorite track: Geekula.

SuperNova 03:04
I was waiting for the stars to fall and burn me off the planet The house it shakes and creaks with fear The fear this time we’ve really had it But hey I don’t care If death is hanging in the air Cause I knew I had it coming When they handed out good luck I wasn’t there But for all those dreamy hours the stars still seem just as far And no matter how you wish they stay exactly where they are So I stay in my tomb In the gathering gloom But I won’t be gone forever I’ll be waiting for my soul to be exhumed Oh hey I don’t mind I guess I’m still the bitter kind Cause I’m through with this possession And I’ll leave the burned out tenements behind

Geekula 03:58
I see the horror in every false laugh No I never had a sense of class Never even had a birthday party Never chosen at the high school dance So I don’t care if you think that you know me I’m in love with the things that you hate These aren’t even my clothes that I’m wearing This is just a mask on my face I want a voodoo doll made out of yr skin I want to be the one to push yr pins No I don’t care if you think that you know me I’m creating the things that you hate This ain’t even a smile that I’m wearing This is just a gash in my face See my eyeballs keep me awake all night Don’t you know what I’m thinking of alright I don’t care if you think that you know me I be crawling to you like a snake There ain’t even a heart inside beating Here’s shard of glass in it’s place It’s a curse that I can’t control Oh you never should have opened that door Cold and blacker than a landlords soul Oh you never should have opened that door

Well a man like me you know I gotta eat Been off my food now for over a week I feel messy and strange I went to comb my hair Stared right into the cracked mirror No Goddam reflection there Just leather and bone yessir I’m just leather and bone Well if you need that money you can talk to Big Sid If you need that information ask the shoe shine kid But if you find living compromise your health Ain’t nobody gonna crutch you up You gotta learn how to fix it yrself I haven’t dreamed for weeks My life’s becoming a blur I guess I’ll crawl back into that grave And get some sleep down there And now I’m on my back I keep my profile low Listen to the trains go whistling by All the awful things I did buried under the snow

Prom Dress 06:30
There’s a pale moon on the rise Don’t you wsh you didn’t exist Don’t you feel just like a burned out car Been rusting in the mist And I don’t know why I came here For I won’t see you again Cause I had idle hands Dear And you know who plays with them So I sank my teeth right in But it’s such a bitter taste Though the pain must feel like snow in summer Our love’s just gone to waste And I don’t know why I came here To the places that you stood Where I scrawl’d all of my letters And done signed them in my blood Well I’m sure you’d find a shred Of your dress still in my room Maybe I’ll make the front page darlin’ Have a hex cast over my tomb And I don’t know why I stay here Underneath the shiv’ring woods Yeah it’s painful but I’m not so sure That I’d change it if I could

If I had the kind of bones Could take the weight of broken skulls Then I’d drag this carcass home And if I had the kind of blood Could breathe the sludge of oily lungs Then I’d raise my head to speak In poison tongues Inside a dream of all yr fears all the ways they’ll cut you down My empty heart awakes/awaits One day you’ll catch the look That’s carved into my eyes Beneath our haunted skins There’s nothing left to die So I became the king of hosts A halfway house for heavy ghosts In a haze of fog and smoke They say the light inside has gone And left the strains of sad old songs And I guess my teeth grow long As time moves on.

Saltair 05:03
Meet me under the pines Down by the old railway line Wear yr hair in that old style Bring those shoes and yr sad smile Meet me there and you’ll be mine Waltzing along Waltzing along Waltzing along

Since I was born I’ve done most everything I’d break my body and start over again With eyes stained bloodshot and heavy as lead I’ve left a trail of ash wherever I’ve been My lungs are drowning filled with gasoline My bones are ringing hollow with every tread I wouldn’t act on Dr. Needle’s advice They shot me down and had to bury me twice Though bugs and spiders still twitched in my veins Must be a reason I keep coming back Some basic function that I seem to lack Gonna ride that horse while Satan pulls on the reins But there’s no use regretting the life I’ve led I made my choice now I’ll lay in my bed So I’m going back to the Grim Counties Back where the sun can’t bleach my bones Back where the blood’s still running freely Back to the corners that I know I could go see a priest Start praying down on my knees Or call up the church and get JC on the wire Maybe he could explain the sparks are borne in yr brain And if yr cold in the ground then yr avoiding the fires There’s no use regretting the lives I’ve bled I made my choice now I’ll lay in my bed So I’m going back to the Grim Counties Back where the sun can’t bleach my bones Back where the blood’s still running freely Back to the corners that I know

Bloody Holly 05:10
Hey Baby I know that people say that I’m the worst dressed guy in town I’ve heard it said behind my back that I’m the weirdest kid around This place has got it’s share of ugliness and you know that to be true And if you wanna break some hearts on Friday night Well that’s all right I wanna break yr’s too Remember when I walked you home you didn’t see me at all And all those ringing telephones you couldn’t hear me at all Feels like I’m hypnotised the hammers beat my buckled spine I’m tightened like a screw And if you wanna spill some blood on yr dancing shoes Well I can’t lose I wanna spill yours too So what’s a boy supposed to do Always thought you’d be my Peggy Sue It’s so perfect where you stand I guess I’ll take up smoking become a stunt car driver Dig my grave on hallowed land Maybe I’ll buy a gun for party tricks when I’m not sober Burn down the house start fights in bars til’ I get older And if that doesn’t do me in I’ll wear a mask and shed some skin Does anybody really just leave town and start all over And I know yr out of reach It ain’t easy to forget Ain’t you seen me walking around With a noose around my neck (every day I’m getting closer)

Hey Mary 04:17
Hey Jerry fare thee well They don’t believe you but yr story had some truth to tell When you cut through to the other side You left an ugly hole but you can’t have death Without a life Hey Mary this ain’t goodbye Yr sleeping haunts me like a lullaby When I see you on the other side We’ll take our broken cycles for a moonlight highway ride The threads of life will tie a noose around yr soul And where they’re hanging us you know I’ll surely go And in this crypt of bad ideas You never see me but you know I’ve always been here Hey Chloe they done me wrong I carve these tender bats to hang my aching limbs upon Now I’ve got eyes like dying coals Put out my ashtray heart they’re fading slowly as I go Hey Mary (Hey Mary) (Hey Mary)

I took a picture of the black in yr eye It’s beautiful you look so good when you cry I’m yr obsession and mine is this To take you down with a poisonous kiss You made a creature of yr own design God only knows why I treat you so kind Come on lady let’s stay up all night Show me the places that you want me to bite There’s only so much anybody can stand Hey don’t you know that I’m in demand I came to ruin every one of yr plans It’s World War II hey it’s Vietnam You have to crush to find some light every day Can’t you find yourself a better way I’ve had the old songs rockin’ all day My Boyfriends Back, The Spook and Penny Arcade And it’s a sad kind of parade A real sad kind of parade

about

Kreeps Seattle, Washington

While Dazed and Confused described Kreeps as "the best of the dressed in black bunch", Loud and Quiet magazine hailed Kreeps' doomed surf pop as "the best soundtrack to a Pulp Fiction that was never made or David Lynch's next feature". A real best-kept secret for longer than most bands sustain entire careers, Kreeps are an enigma wrapped up in a ball of dark, dark wool. ... more
