A genre hopping, masterful blend of influences, Kreeps blur the line between Punk, Rockabilly, Electro, Surf, Psyche and 20's Blues - all played out against a backdrop of B - Movie Horror and exploitation cinema.
While Dazed and Confused described Kreeps as "the best of the dressed in black bunch", Loud and Quiet magazine hailed Kreeps' doomed surf pop as "the best soundtrack to a Pulp Fiction that was never made or David Lynch's next feature".
An obscure and sketchy history on some of the hippest labels (Output Recordings, Loog Records, Alpha-Ville Japan) left huge question marks over their origins and story. Their four long players and soundtrack appearances from horror films to multi award winning best selling video games such as Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto raised awareness, but only added to the mystery.
A real best-kept secret for longer than most bands sustain entire careers -Kreeps are an enigma wrapped up in a ball of dark, dark wool.
