Bruce from the band, Britney's Krack, was kind enough to e-mail us and ask us to deal a little review for his band a few weeks. He even ended up sending me the band's latest CD entitled "Back In Krack."

The best way I can describe this band is that they are a punk/rock (not punk rock) band that covers pop tunes. The songs that they cover have their own flare. In fact, the first time I let Giggles hear them, he commented that while the band was doing cover songs, they kind of made them their own.

We (Roachito, Giggles, and myself) came up with a couple of conclusions about this band. The first of which is that to really enjoy them, you have to have some sort of knowledge of pop music. They cover songs from artists such as Ricky Martin, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera. If you know the original songs, it sort of makes you understand what Britney's Krack is doing a little bit better.

Secondly, we decided this wouldn't be one of those kind of bands that we would rush out to buy the CD and listen to everyday. This isn't saying that the music is bad though. While I wouldn't listen to them everyday, they are one of those kind of bands that would probably be a blast to see live in a bar or club, especially if you know the original songs. It's too bad they are way up in Canada and us YMR guys are here down in Sunny So Cal.

I think the bottom line with Britney's Krack is that they sound like they are having fun with what they are doing. Isn't that really what music is supposed to be about anyway?

Since these here temple reviews are pointing people in a direction to hear music that they wouldn't otherwise, I suggest visiting their website and downloading the songs they have available to download. You might end up digging them.
