STEEL CRANES
“Tracy Shapiro and Amanda Schukle’s two-woman rock assault has more in common with the Melvins or the Black Keys: the slo-mo heaviness of a 2,000-pound pendulum, as much grit as an abandoned highway, and a fearless sense of rock ‘n’ roll.” – MTV Buzzworthy

“They shred, but they’re not frantic. Their sound lacks any pretense whatsoever, offering raw, relentless power instead.” – Bitch Magazine

“Hailing from Oakland, Steel Cranes are a no-nonsense duo composed of Tracy Shapiro and Amanda Schukle. Their brand of wiry, nervy post-punk recalls badasses such as PJ Harvey and Patti Smith. The assault of guitar and drums is dialed in to a degree that would be exhausting if it weren’t so exhilarating. Songs speed by in fervent blasts, or they stomp and shake and rattle your bones. As a vocalist, Shapiro is slinky and menacing, trading off sultry entreaties and snarling affronts. Steel Cranes borrow structure from heavy blues, but they twist and distort it into something that feels fresh and exciting, which is not an easy feat.” -Northwest Military

“…nasty noise and narrative nuance shouldn’t work , yet some of these songs recall Rocky Horror (my highwater mark for rock musicals) and some of the weird rock these grungey gals get at recalls some of the most potent twosomes this side of Flat Duo Jets.” – Rocktober
