The best kept secret in music
Press
"Shifting it's shape with astounding agility, Skrape's impressive debut fuses brutal metallic riffs, Deftones inspired swirl, impassioned growls...and, yes, even a smattering of neo-new wave synthesizers." - August 2001
"(Dope)...their live show is as engaging as it is explosive. A rare band of the modern era that places imagery and songwriting hand-in-hand, the resulting product makes them one of the most underated bands of the new millenium." - April 2005
"Skrape's musical charge is heavy and bristling, but it's most alluring quality may be the milky undercurrents of keyboardist and guitarist Brian "Brix" Milner." - August 2001
"It's not typical. It has flair...'Up The Dose' is a veritable quantum leap in professionalism from (the) debut." - March 2004
"Skrape's command of the aggro and the atmospheric puts it way ahead of the game." - October 2001
