Kretch

Kretch is a four piece from Melbourne. It all started in late 2006 when four foreign lads crawled out from underneath a beer coaster and decided to take their once I was blind, but now I can't see attitude to the stage. A year later, inspired by chronic insomnia, endless toilet conversations, men with hairy backs and ladies with beautiful feet, we exploded our broken English rock 'n' raw onto the Melbourne music scene. Our sound is raw and honest. The meaning of "when shit hits the fan" is way too familiar to us, because we come from a place where the expression came to be. So please forgive us if we don't tell you what you wanna hear. Witnessing our show will either send you into panic-attack frenzy or give you enough confidence to hit on your best friend's woman. However, despite our crude honesty and weird accents, we know way better than to piss on your toilet seat. We do not preach, we are not here to tell right from wrong, but there is one thing that we know better than any other, and that is: IF IT AIN'T LOUD, IT SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED!



In late 2008 we entered Atlantis Sound Studio with intent to record 9 tracks. After a graveyard shift (more precisely 23 hours straight), fueled by 196 stubbies of brew, 314 fags and two and a half slices of toasted bread, we ended up putting down 15 tracks. They were recorded, mixed and mastered by Melbourne's most influential underground persona, Dr Loki Lockwood. Following our first serious recording session, we signed to Spooky Records and released our debut album, titled "Downfall", which is available in selected stores now.
