Cryptkeeper Five, The "The Rise Of Palace Depression"
Released in 2006
The Cryptkeeper Five (sometimes known as CK5) is a punk rock band from Trenton, NJ that began in the late 1990s. One of the Garden State's hardest working bands, they toured around the world. They have songs that sound like pure punk, some that sounds like something from the 1950s, and some that defy classification. I've called them the Ramones with a Jersey twist. This is my favorite album by them. If you like Meat Loaf, give this band a listen. Lead singer Johnny Ott, brings that same passion to each tune.
