One of NYC’s best stoner outfits

Product Description

There comes a time when a band matures to dominance. Maturation sometimes involves radical change. When the legendary Aytobach Kreisor simplified their complex moniker, 22 year old tears were shed, and Kreisor was born. You hold the results in your hand.

Upon further examination, when one puts "Graveyard of Your Mind" in the CD player, they hear yet another shot, the anthemic call to arms in the fight for rock: "Reloader." The listener is immediately taken back to a simpler, better time where blues solos were sacrosanct, the women were easy and the drugs plenty. As much as the women and drugs still easily fall into the hands of Kreisor, one is shocked by the "rock" community that flails out polka-esque syncopated rhythms and pansified vocal stylings. "Rock ‘n’ Roll Reloader" assassinates all this aural scum in it’s path.

Don’t let this erroneously make you think that Kreisor is without pop sensibility or pummeling ability. "Trilight" features ethereal vocals along the lines of early 90’s British shoegazer rock, while "Work" features a Motorhead thrash assault. The lone cover of the record is "Waiting For The Sun" by The Doors, celebrating the psychedelic side of the band. This also harkens back to a time when rock WAS pop, as "Waiting For The Sun" was a number one album for the Doors.
