Press Reviews About Streetcrab's First Demo/EP... "Foreigners Eh? Trying to take our birthright of American rock and roll. The nerve! And doing it well that's what really hurts... Great slabs of noxious glorious guitar and a vocalist who sounds pretty damned confident... Well if you are from a foreign land trying to fit in with American culture, you do it justice, so you may stay." - Saintjames7, reviewer, Mp3.com, July 2000 "Streetcrab pull out all the angst in this gem... Tight, punchy and dynamic... Streetcrab are no doubt in their element live, you can sense the vibe of four years playing together... A must treat!" - mOoFiSh music, New Zealand, June 2000 About Streetcrab...
