Firetrucs Press:

-Daily Nebraskan
"Firetrucs offer up a needle filled with addictive post-grunge rock that is ladled with indie inflections and loud pop melodies."
-Smother
"Great vocals and fire-in-the-belly musicianship make this group one of the best local grooves today."
-Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Firetrucs come out of nowhere and pull catchy pop song after catchy pop song out of their bag of tricks."

Space Loaf LP review:
"Given the sorry-ass state of radio and the music industry in general, I''ve been turning elsewhere for my fix of new music. While surfing a 10-foot swell of independent music recently on local internet radio station https://www.tradebit.com, I have discovered a plethora of unsigned talent that could easily fill a dozen music columns. One band that I''ve been juiced about lately is local three-piece Firetrucs, who have a sludgy, Nirvana-esque flavor that veers from stoner-rock pyschadelia to straight-up pop rawk and back again.
They exhibit a strong command of dynamics as well as a fearless approach to atypical song structures, and come across as serious, yet playful, as indicated in my favorite lyrical couplet, "I smoke pot ''cuz my parents say I can''t / And onstage I''m as shirtless as Robert Plant." I purchased their CD release from last year, called "Space Loaf LP," after hearing the album''s highlight song, "Surfaces" on Radio Juno Beach.
The track is a giddy, balls-out rocker with a super-high groove ratio propelled by Brian Gruidl''s melodic, chordal bass riff, the high-octane dynamics of Shane Speltz'' excitable drumming, where his make-eating grin is apparent all over the track, and is punctuated by defiant squalls of feedback from Tony Parks'' guitar as he pledges his devotion to a chick who happens to be a "freak of nature." Firetrucs has a brand new release out called "Hovercraft," of which the title track spanks 110% of my ass. I haven''t purchased said disc yet, but am certainly hoping they''ve peppered this one with a few more of the ball-bustin'' barnburners in the vein of the aforementioned duo. I''m also eager to catch their live show as I have a strong suspicion that intensity would reign supreme. The very next time I see a Firetrucs gig advertised, I will attend that gig and get combustible with this incendiary trio who will no doubt be igniting, rather than extinguishing, the blaze. Who''s with me?
