new SULTRY DAGGERS review by Lord Kveldulfr in Razorcake

Sun, 12 May 2013 23:32:29 -0400

“Tom Waits meets Rob Zombie with some German expressionism thrown in…this would be my soundtrack to sit brooding in a dimly lit room late at night, plotting the gruesome demise of all my enemies.”

New review of SULTRY DAGGERS by Runaway Music blog.

Fri, 12 Apr 2013 20:09:00 -0400

“metallic krautrock…It starts on deep and rocking with a growly vocalist, and only gets more and more intense.”

just found this SULTRY DAGGERS review by Runaway Music blog, who bought it for the cover and was expecting something else, but decided it was OK anyway. Read it HERE.

rollicking new Tunnel review by Julian Cope, Lord Yatesbury

Sat, 02 Mar 2013 14:14:00 -0500

“it’s rare nowadays to see a band confident enough to depict themselves in their record sleeve photos in the ‘shocked dark’ mode a la James Chance’s Contortions or Teenage Lydia’s Jerks, so all praise to San Francisco trio The Tunnel, whose raging, twisted, primal maelstrom contained within the grooves of their marvellous new album SULTRY DAGGERS truly justifies the facial affrontedness of its band members…inhabits a genuinely compelling other world from commencement to termination. Stay shocked, gentlemen. This is one fuck-off of a disc.”
-Julian Cope, Head Heritage

Surprised by the Queens of the Stone Age reference. Must be the “sweaty mess of masculine energy”!

Awesome density of adjectives in this SULTRY DAGGERS review by KZSU Stanford.

Sat, 23 Feb 2013 13:44:00 -0500

“a song by The Tunnel is like a song by The Fall. You can expect everything except the expected…And yeah it hurts, but the pain is so delicious you push the repeat-button.”

new SULTRY DAGGERS review by Flamin' Waymon Timbsdayle in Roctober

Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:31:00 -0500

“Sinister carney rock with swirling danger and “the creeps” steadily delivered like catalogues at Christmastime. Like Nick Cave if he actually lived in a cave. Like Gun Club if they actually lived in a gun. Like Bauhaus if they actually lived in a bat house.”

allright. looks like the Eli’s / Oakland show has been cancelled. Word is the booker double-booked. But Southern dwellers of the Bay Area and otherwise adventurous travelers should be advised that the possibility of the Tunnel manifesting in San Jose is not altogether out of the question and is in fact predicted to happen at a Club Apparition-related function on Thursday February 28. Stay tuned.
