"The Skullcranes: Wt. Trashmore"

"What did strike me were the abrupt punk offerings the Skullcranes were serving up. They had a very Supersuckers-esqe vibe to them, and I'm saying that I guess it totally qualifies the white trash reference. While the Supersuckers have gone to a more laid back rock vibe the Skullcranes are full throttle with short, trashy, double timed punk rock. Part of me just doesn't feel like elaborating that much more on these guys besides saying its good. If you like trashy punk rock Nashville Pussy style, then there is no reason in my mind why you wouldn't dig this."--NH, Rift Magazine

"The Skullcranes"

Pop-punk is a bit of a misnomer for The Skullcranes, since the band's sound is substantially more abrasive than , say, Bowling for Soup. But The Skullcranes still manage to have a few things in common with those pop-punk pranksters, like snotty, humorous songs that frequently storm pop-culture nostalgia and white-trash ethics for inspiration. The Skullcranes primary influence very well might be 80's pop-punk band legends The Decendents, who sang about little more than girls, coffee and flatulence."--Eric Clark, Cedar Rapids Gazette - The Cedar Rapids Gazette

Bio

Genre: Trailer Park Punk, Dirt

Ah, The Skullcranes.

Formed by weekday benders going into the 4 A.M. hour disguised
as “practices” in the year 2000, The Skullcranes has since done a few
good things here and there. They have toured the upper Midwest when it
was possible for the young men and have released 3 full length records
as well as been part of three compilations.
Staying true to the blue collar vibe that comes with living in a
working class part of town just outside of Northeast Minneapolis, The
Skullcranes have always did it their own way without too much
consideration of outside “advice” or “ideas”.
Releasing their fourth full length on Crustacean Records in May
of 2009, The Skullcranes continue to pay homage to the “choice-ness”
and the “faults depending on how you look at it” of where they are
from. “Columbia Heights Nights” takes you on a ride in a huge gas
guzzling pick up, drops you off at a bar where there is Belgian Beer
on special then slaps you around before leaving you at a giant house
party in the northern suburbs of Minneapolis.
Loud, fast, beer and cars, enough said. Sleeves optional.
