"One of the finest releases of the year!" - John Kennedy, XFM
"Impressive release, three edgy alternative slightly angular and rather infectious indie guitar tracks that bite." - Organ Magazine
"Mixing attitude with adrenaline and bringing just the right amount of aggressive rawness to tempt all, KunK are a band with much to offer and whether its their seductively raw riffs that whip you into a frenzy or their energetically fiery vocals, this is a band to keep a very watchful eye on." - Room Thirteen
"The opening track pumps out of my stereo, thrashing indie and grunge pouring out of the speakers, and it was so good that I thought I saw some shock waves blasting out my cd player. They come off as one of my favourite bands I've listened to in my reviewing career" - R*E*P*E*A*T
" Finding themselves sonically somewhere between the demented growl of Mclusky & the early Britrock might of 3 Colours Red, Kunk have a tight and mightily effective sound!" - Subba-Cultcha
Having been compared to whatever noise it is that angry dinosaurs make, Alt-Rock band KunK make sounds that have been known to stop wild boar in their quest for flesh. Creating a sound that is similar to the loveless child of QOTSA and the Pixies, KunK put on an energetic live show that excites, tantalises and scares the crowd in equal measure. They have also shared the stage with the likes of Nine Black Alps, Electric Eel Shock and Battle.
Two years after a much needed line-up change, KunK are set to release their debut single in May 2008. Despite the bands early demos receiving airplay from the likes of Steve Lamacq (BBC Radio 1) and John Kennedy (XFM), KunK decided it was time to step up a gear and giving them the tools to do so was producer Jack Ruston (Reuben, McQueen, Kubb, Tom McRae). The result of which is three tracks of slap-you-in-the-face-and-leave-you, ballsy yet delightful Alternative Rock, which will excite you in a manner reminiscent of the best Christmas present you ever received.
