Band Called Kevin are grunge enthusiasts playing heavy riffs and tempering them with light lyrics. They’re jokey and stoner-ish and it basically works. Having come of age during the original grunge era one hundred years ago, I tend to hear downer riff rock and flashback to extremely clumsy teenage years. “Why would a band want to revisit one of the most awkward moments in recent cultural history?” one might ask. Band Called Kevin somehow make it fun and not so traumatic. You just need a lot of beer and weed, I guess. –Matt Werts (Killer Kern, killerkern.bandcamp.com)
