Review in AMP Magazine:
THE NIGHTCRAWLERS SF self-titled CD The NIGHTCRAWLERS SF play a tight old school sounding punk rock that seems to owe as much to the SEX PISTOLS as it does L.A. bands like SOCIAL DISTORTION or ADOLESCENTS. They feature Ex-UNIFORM CHOICE + HOLLYWOOD HATE Guitarist Dave Marriott, as well as Cheryl Ossola from one of the most underrated bay area bands ever; SQUAT. The copy of this CD that I have isn't really an official release. If you do see a version of this in stores, pick it up and if you are a label, you might want to snatch this band up. (JC) |

THE
NIGHT CRAWLERS It isn’t everyday that we are subjected to true punk rock. Sure, there are countless “would be’s” and “have been’s” which have hailed from the Bay Area, but the Night Crawlers have made quite a name for themselves by becoming the “next big thing” out of the Bay Area. Their extraordinary combination of early 80’s and 70’s garage sets them apart from countless other punk bands stemming from the heart of San Francisco. As if playing with the likes of Total Chaos, The Skulls and The Exploited wasn’t enough to get them noticed, SF Weekly also acclaimed them to be “One of the most exciting new lives acts to hit the San Francisco’s Punk Rock’n’Roll scene. With a leg spread stance and a blur of the pick hand, the left side of the stage drips with sex female guitar power.” Recently chosen as one of San Francisco’s favorite live performances, The Night Crawlers have proven that it doesn’t take much to take over the world. Crediting life as their main inspiration, they claim that “If you could see the scum in the streets of the city and the thoughts in my head it wouldn't take long to figure that one out.” By creating a style of old school punk rock original to their taste and talent, they have picked up fans all over who have been salivating for a taste of some good ol’ punk music. And of course, it doesn’t hurt that they have a hot chick rockin’ on the guitar. |

Review in Full Frontal Recordings:
| I
first heard these on a compilation put together by Duane Peters then I
bumped into these guys on My Space and within a fortnight I have their
debut album sitting in front of me. What do I think? This album is the tops and the band should be very proud of it. My only complaint is there weren´t enough tracks - It leaves you lusting after more music. Fave tracks for me are ´Breakloose´ (the opening track), ´Suicide Friend´, ´Livin´ In My Head´and ´Givin´ In´. If hard Punk Rock N Roll is your thing then The NightCrawlers really do deserve to be in your CD player. The way them instruments are used is awesome and the vocals just fit in nicely. It´s great and this is a band that do deserve a listen. Production wise is excellent as they had Kerry Martinez from the US Bombs twiddling the knobs. Now if you still aren´t convinced go and have a listen to some of their MPS´s here. (Self Financed) 9/10 |
