Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Graffiti Death Threat buzzes with excitement. Part indie rock, part indie rap, this 3 piece outfit (guitar, turntables, and emcee) is irreverent art punk for a generation of fans that listens to more than one genre of music. In an age where rock / rap hybrids conjure up images of teenage hero worship spilling out derivative power chords over sampled break beats, Graffiti Death Threat is here to reshape your conceptions. Steeped in the likes of Link Wray and Public Enemy; Tom Waits and Outkast; The Roots and the Queens of the Stone Age, Graffiti Death Threat is a virtual gumbo of musical styles and components, dynamic and engaging, hell-bent on destroying industry standards and subverting pop sensibilities.

In compositions where T-Rock's drum patterns transform into melodic leads and Little Warren's vibrant rifts shift from mariachi to surf rock, Graffiti Death Threat utilizes the full potential of their instruments to create noisy bliss, simultaneously inventive and familiar. When you add Skoolz to the mix, spitting tongue-in-cheek rhymes with razor tongued delivery, Graffiti Death Threat leads listeners through a maze of myths and mantras, humor and plot twists.

Graffiti Death Threat's self titled debut CD/LP rests somewhere between an uncompromising work of art and some adolescents' playful meanderings. Punk rock ethics with spit polish. Hip Hop without borders. If your local record store is having trouble placing Graffiti Death Threat in the appropriate "category by genre", might we suggest the section titled "Staff Picks"?

Formed in 2003 from the remnants of broken bands and substance abuse, Graffiti Death Threat currently lives, writes, and records in Los Angeles, CA. Graffiti Death Threat is: Skoolz / Vocals, Little Warren / Guitars, and DJ T-Rock / Turntables.

Graffiti Death Threat,Graffiti Death Threat,Entry Label, LLC,Graffiti Death Threat demonstrates the natural progression of three musicians steeped in the likes of Outkast and Sonic Youth; a virtual gumbo of musical styles, GDT manages to bridge the gap between indie rock and indie rap

Blown Away!.......2004-11-14

I was able to see these guys live recently and besides the fact that they are all super hot and had sick infectious energy, I couldn't wait to get home and read every lyric on the album. Finally, something different that never seems to get stale! Cry Baby is my first pick as favorite song on the CD but really no track is unworthy of being called the best!

Top notch entertainment - new sound you've got to get.......2004-10-29

This is the best joint on my Ipod. I can't wait to see these guys live. The description above is accurate - punk rock and rap, but done in a new way - incredible turntable skills, raw crunching but tight guitars, smart underground rap lyrics (you'll grab for the liner notes just to follow MC Skoolz' dazzling word play) and old school punk refrains. The music has a new energy, sense of humor, and all the good things from the two genres it embodies. This is one complete album - no filler from first track to last.

Fierce lyrics, killer riffs.......2004-10-14
