4.0 out of 5 stars
a glorious racket, May 29 2005
By Mike K. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Konks (Audio CD)
It's only fitting that the cover of this album is a rust-orange tinted picture of someone dressed as a caveman standing in the middle of a 1960's suburban street (and perhaps even more revealingly, according to the liner notes it's actually a picture someone found in a gutter): This is some of the most scuzzily invigorating caveman-garage-rock I've heard in recent years. The closing rendition of Aerosmith's "Let The Music Do The Talking" (one of two cover tunes here, the other one being "King Kong" by.... Soupy Sales???) is also appropriate, as well as a good reminder that before all the power ballads Aerosmith themselves were back-to-basic riff rockers, though in The Konks hands it sounds a lot more like a Raw Power outtake. It's thrilling to hear how much this band can do with just the barest elements (and I do mean barest; they ain't kidding about the "cheap guitars and only two lousy drums" bit, and in "Move And Shake" they even do away with drums entirely and make due with only shakers and foot stomping for percussion). Though he doesn't exhibit much of a vocal range, vocalist/drummer Kurt posesses a truly great shriek in the tradition of Iggy Pop or Mark Arm, and simultaneously manages to at least do more with two drums than Meg White does with a full set, and the guitar playing is pure primitive fury. This music is a lot more about attitude and the cheap thrills of noisy distortion and manic screaming than songwriting (what else do you expect from a band who have two entirely different songs called "Outta My Mind" and "Out Of My Mind"?), but they have that certain knack for basic but memorable riffs that tends to make or break bands of this stripe. This album's already brief 33 minutes tends to fly right by; there's nary a pause between tracks, and only the surprisingly mellow, almost delta-blues-stomp of "Honey" allows the listener to take anything even close to a breather. However, that's all the more reason to hit the play button again and listen to the whole thing one more time.

ROCK N ROLL THE WAY IT SHOULD BE!!!!, May 4 2005
By Damian Saiz "Pop Culture Encyclopedia" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Konks (Audio CD)
Sweet merciful crap! After seeing these guys live over the past couple of years, it was worth the wait for this gem of a rocknroll album to come out. The live show is such a loud, blistering affair that I wondered if they'd be able to capture some of that energy on plastic, and lo and behold they have! This is stripped-down, primal, straight from a seedy garage, rock and freakin roll! Pick this up and play it at your neighbors!!!

Awesome, Dec 3 2011
By Larkenfield - Published on Amazon.com
I love the name of the group and every note of their raucous noise. It's like being hit in the head with a hammer and feeling better afterwards.
Listmania!
