Prainbork is an LA-based whacky, all over the place, scrambled-hard rock n' punk n' metal studio project founded by metal guitarist and producer Art Bertik Marquez and cartoon artist Manic Merganser. "This is an epileptic attack mix of punk and metal bubbling with video game aggression and surreal humor. The layers of odd brilliance shine through in each song as Prainbork mastermind Art Bertik-Marquez channels his inner Mr. Bungle with nods to 50s rock, avant-garde jazz, and industrial, all peppered in a multi-genre mass of mind-blowing metal." - The New Wave of Thrash Metal Blog "This is the band that recalled the epic Empire Records scene for me. This band and album sounds like something straight out of a Tony Hawk Pro Skater soundtrack. This L.A.-based band is all over the place in a very fun and out there way. The album isn't just sweet shredding and double pedal drums, but it also has a sense of humor. Akin to the likes of a Dr. Dre or Green Jelly kind of mini sketch interlude, this makes you know that even though these guys take the music seriously, they don't take themselves seriously, too. They definitely have that Cali vibe that has been missing from music for a while, even from L.A. bands. Their use of more than just the traditional guitar, bass, mic, and drums set up makes me want to see them perform live to see how they would pull off the string or brass instruments that appear in some of the tunes. Like Cibo Matto before them, the album A Wrench Short of a Baker's Dozen is very much food oriented. With track titles such as "Beef Porridge," "Peanut Stomper," and "Mustard Donut," it's hard not to bring up the similarity of track titles to my ladies from the land of the rising sun. "Mustard Donut," in fact, is a nice little bit of frolicking absurdity featuring Leisure Suit Larry creator Al Lowe. Except for the little bits of humor peppered in between tracks and some songs, this is a great workout soundtrack... It's got a good 'ol head bangin' beat, a style you haven't heard much on the radio lately and you can dance to it..." - Fanboy Comics "Lol..." - Dino Cazares (Fear Factory/Diving Heresy/Asesino)
