"Fort Worth Music"

"Klopek opened the show. A 4-piece band, they combined driving energy and melancholy emotion to make the kind of whine-rock that The Feds have made so popular lately (not that either Klopek or The Feds weren't any good-on the contrary, both filled their venues and played well to an enthusiastic audience). They did have a raw edge to them though, brought about by their massive release of energy on stage-these guys were all over the place!" - Ftworthmusic.com


"The Door"

"Klopek is a great, original rock band with killer vocals and power pop riffs. They always put on a tight, high-energy live show. They are one of my favorite local bands and they are really good guys to boot. And when I say a band is one of my favorites, you better believe it, because i see hundreds of bands every year!"
- Joel-Sound Engineer


"Deaf Mule Studios"

After having recorded and produced many local bands, I was impressed with the professional attitude, and the clear camaraderie of the whole band. They are very talented, and really dedicated to the ever-growing education of their craft. Their sound is very innovative, and very well rounded. I'll be very happy when they come back to the studio to record again." - Gio Locatelli


"Mansplat Magazine"

Hey Klopek - is your name from an ancient dialect meaning "to rock until your face falls off"? According to our research it is. - The Splat Crew

Bio

"If you were to ask a random person what the word Klopek meant to them, you’d probably get one of three responses. First, he might say that it means nothing to him. If he were an educated person he would say that it is a name of Slavic origin. Lastly, he just might say that it is one of the most promising and talented bands to ever come out of Dallas. And he would be right.

Forming in 2001, and hailing from the small town of Red Oak, Texas, south of Dallas, this young group plans to use its unique style to force its way into the homes of every rock and roll fan. With the addition of bassist Wes Edwards in 2005, combined with founding members Matt Hamel (drums), Daniel Burnett (Guitar, Vocals), and Casey Dennington (Vocals, Guitar), the band began to explore new musical territory. Traces of their eclectic group of influences began to emerge, running the gamut from rock bands Boston and Coheed and Cambria, to metal like Megadeth and Pantera, to early alternative bands Sunny Day Real Estate and Weezer. Today, Klopek has integrated with the essential club scene, performing at numerous venues and sharing the stage with many local and national acts. Their live act is fearsome, filled with unique guitar riffs and rapturous vocals. Those who see the band live will find Klopek's haunting melodies pulsing through their cerebrums for weeks.

The musicianship and camaraderie of this band run as deeply as the blood in your veins, and you can expect that whatever the venue, Klopek will deliver an energetic, aggressive, and unforgettable experience. Simply put, Klopek pulls no punches. There are no gimmicks, no falsehood. You don’t have to like alternative, rock, metal. Yet, fans from all crowds can find something to like about this up-and-coming band. They are honest musicians playing honest music, with each member putting every bit of himself into his craft.
