Kreep is the brainchild of vocalist Brett Pirozzi, a former member of Long Island, N.Y. Techno Metal pioneers Bile. In an effort to bridge the gap between the industrial evil that characterized his former outfit with something a bit more musically viable.
On the wave of their first U.S. tour, Kreep have been voted "favorite up and coming band" in the year in review issue of Metal Edge magazine. "Inimitable showmanship and a fundamental metal approach make checking out vocalist Brett Pirozzi and his band a sure bet," says Metal Edge scribe Roger Lotring.

This past fall, while touring North America Kreep pummeled audiences into submission night after night with an explosive 30-minute Heavy Metal onslaught built upon one simple strategy: hammer out one killer tune after another and leave the unsuspecting masses begging for more. From Bangor, Maine to Minneapolis, Minnesota, each nightly performance was topped off with recurring chants of "Kreep, Kreep, Kreep," from people who had never even seen the Los Angeles based band before. Songs like "Go," "What," and "The Way That I Am" quickly became fan favorites.

In the summer of 2004 Kreep took a new direction, abandoning their techno-metal roots and returning with a new five-piece lineup, including punk/metal veteran Jay Quinlan from Dick Delicious and the Tasty Testicles. The newest incarnation of the band has been described, by all accounts, as a massive improvement over the original incarnation - bringing a new rawness, heaviness, and energy that has to be witnessed to be believed. The five-piece has been tearing up clubs in the Los Angels area over the last few months, building a loyal following, and leaving a decent scar in LA's watered down metal scene.

2005 will be a very big year for Kreep with further more shows, new songs, and unleashing some new commercially accessible recordings that will melt out eye sockets.
