We are the Empire State because we alone have all the makings of a great empire. Coal. Grain. Timber. Iron. Granite and Slate. Livestock. Game. Fresh water. Our per-acre agricultural output far exceeds that of any other state. We are too far inland to be hurt by hurricanes, yet too coastal and hilly to see tornadoes of any significance. Long after the world's oil is gone, and the deserts once again are parched, we will still have our canals, our rivers and our lakes.

Attic rock is more fitting: rock churned out from an attic littered with vinyl records of Robert Johnson, The Gun Club, and Gene Vincent; an attic saturated with the sound of old tape machines, the smell of tube amps, and the images of inflicted voodoo dolls; an attic haunted by the ritualistic channeling of gritty guitars, crying yelps, and guttural drums. Like an out-of-control freight train teetering on the tracks between right and wrong, here is Krowe.

Sweetly melodic and often melancholy, as well as intelligent and soulful, Poulopoulos’s songs, like him, are honest and eloquent. His guitar playing makes you want to tap your feet, or cry a little. Sometimes both. His lyrics, complemented by the steady strum or picked out tones of the guitar, always tell a story — some are sad, some are happy, and some, like his song “On and On,” achieve both with a humorous spin — and they’re always poignant.
