[@Rubberfooted]

Turkey is easily one of 2015's finest records good ol' garage rock

[@monstergirlinc8707]

the interview in the middle has increased my love for mike kroll. "we're friendly police!"

[@matthewhartshorn4828]

He's such an amazing musician I hope I can see him one day :)

[@Semiotichazey]

I love Mike's music and it was even cooler to hear him talk with Cheryl here. It almost makes me angry that he's not bigger. Spread the word, people.

[@fromthedoor]

"I brought the barbed wire." He's so fucking cool.

[@oyasumimarmar5496]

Just ordered the new vinyl Mike Krol is not dead. And I’m so excited!!! wow I’m lucky to be alive when this b is making music

[@iluvugoldenblue]

seems like a great band to open a festival with, get the people who turn up early right into the day ahead.

[@nicolasquizzato4394]

Thank god you kexp guys made descover this band

[@STPmanga]

[@kariic1]

Mike Krol's music rocks!!

[@augusts1]

Just found out about him. I'm in love now.

[@freyaguppy]

I love the bass parts in his music, often bass is really boring but the couple Mike Krol songs I know how to play are really fun on bass and the bass player in this looked like he was absolutely rocking out. I love this shit

[@GIRLSSCLUB]

Sounds so good omg ugh 💕💕

[@tl-d855]

i watch this once a week

[@Bessmaster2000]

I'm a new fan, thank Mike Krol.

[@wesleycorwine1788]

I feel like I am one of the privileged few to actually know about this band before it was on Steven Universe.

[@Avinkwep]

Blade Zx me too

[@cthulues5527]

Blade Zx Me too, bought it when it first came out, now all it's known for is Steven universe, and it pisses me off so much.

[@tylerbryant9011]

Cthulues why would it anger you? The show has made more people aware of their amazing music.

[@cthulues5527]

Tyler Bryant Because the show is a trash heap of emotional teenage girls and grown adults.

[@gryphonandtobyiloveu]

i feel like i did since i didn't find out he was on SU until i looked him up on youtube after listening to him for months lmao

[@dominickvienneau2210]

Very good !!!

[@applejuice8251]

I love your krol

[@miked4309]

[@fizeecoferdhian5893]

If your friends starts asking you what do you mean real music, show them this

[@svenbzh]

Just...AWESOME !!!!!

[@bmx3347]

Ahhhh the glory of quarter notes!

[@bboppppppppppppp]

thank u universe for mike krol

[@ghostification]

he seems like a very nice man im hoping hes good

[@monstergirlinc8707]

when she says "this is the first time 5 police officers have been in the KEXP studio . . . or the live one at least" what does she mean? Did something happen?

[@kakyoku]

Amber Gem i think she means because they’re all dressed as officers

[@shrudd]

im pretty sure its not referencing a legitimate event, more just the regular bodyguards and/or police that guard the stage during live shows

[@number11even41]

Or maybe its just a joke???

[@shrudd]

@@number11even41 who knows man

[@stevevorass]

Awesome!

[@israelleon8532]

I wanna see his pedalboard, the effects

[@decaffeinatedafrican5997]

that's really great man but i don't think anybody cares except me

[@lino4]

@@decaffeinatedafrican5997 You’d be very very very…very wrong. Join the mike krol discord server and find out.

[@tailtiu0]

i love him so much the music sounds like a mixture of the white strypes and a blender:))))))

[@GramGramAnimations]

Oh shit Minnesota representing!

[@slico3765]

You rock

[@gajeelredfox2760]

Who else sang along to all of the songs?

[@trencher7]

I like Neighborhood Watch because I like the Pixies.

[@alienshe-officialchannel9686]

Yeah, same.

[@IvanFabilaVega]

wow fucking cool

[@lonniegabbie]

Steven Universe made me find out about this great artist!

[@ramirezlopezsibelmontserra2376]

me too!!!!!!! HE´S SO AWESOME

[@gypsypunk8]

Same! He is amazing!!

[@silaswarner2053]

please respond holy shit. a gorillaz & steven universe & mike krol fan. marry me

[@Teajonmustard]

2:36 perfect

[@gentalrobots3988]

GASP THEY USE A ORANGE MICO TERROR I WANT ONE OF THOSE

[@andrearieta8291]

It's a Tiny Terror, actually. The Micro is much smaller.

[@gentalrobots3988]

Whoops honest mistake

[@andrearieta8291]

I'd be really happy just having the Micro Terror, tho

[@drchan6373]

what kind of distortion pedal/effect he's using for is voice live? it Sounds exactly the same as the record

[@thisisachannel1403]

Dr Chan I think it's the way he's holding the mic

[@rebeliouse17]

i think he's talking about the weird chorus effects, not the compression

[@caprigirl4279]

I think he uses some chorus and probably gain. he definitely uses delay at times

[@lyokon8]

At 3:58 you can see him fiddling with pedals, perhaps someone with more keen eyes than mine can spot the names on them. It is absolutely not just the way he uses the microphone.

[@GabrielLima-wb8eb]

he plugs his mic in to a guitar amp, also hes using a boss delay, i cant recognize the other pedal ): if anyone has some more information i would like to know it too

[@kollektivetrecords5864]

7 people got stuck in barbed wire.

[@eltakataka5781]

came from kexp and stay for steven universe

[@Rockasaurusmac]

reminds me of nobunny a lot, without the nakedness and bunny ears of course....

[@TheUlisesRamone]

Such a great band, hope this guy don't end up like Greg Universe

[@tailtiu0]

I miss Mike's mustache :;,,((((

[@cheezthereckoning]

dude i love this performance so much the robber outfit was better during the turkey stuff but like

[@supadupaswag737]

Still cool as fuck always will be

[@rebeliouse17]

anyone got details on the guitars and bass being used? they look and sound sick

[@seto4115]

there hagstorm 1s

[@illiciumverumm]

Wow in the imagen before open the video i think this guy was Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy

[@kylepayton4720]

The always cute mike Kroll

[@velvettheater]

Look, I found Mike from Steven, but I haven’t watched it ever since. I really like their music, and it does annoy me how people will make crappy references to the show without actually saying that they like the music. I’ve grown away from Steven because it just got annoying.

[@Randompersononline]

Yeah, it annoys me a bit too when people comment on fifteen minutes “who’s here because of Steven Universe”

[@nik_becker138]

Yawl gotta chill with people finding out about this because of Steven universe, its like when kids started finding out about punk rock music bc of tony hawk pro skater and people did the same shit

[@miked4309]

Wavves

[@theclawless1225]

Who's here because of Steven Universe?

[@wolfstar7865]

meXD

[@johanleivasaldarriaga4366]

Steven rules

[@04_claymore]

basically everyone

[@dawson1713]

What the fuck is "Steven universe"??

[@theclawless1225]

Dawson 01 It's a cartoon show. They had an episode where they want to see a concert.... and u can guess who it was :-) It was mike krol, but u can figure that out

[@FerFriki93]

steven universe brought me here

[@softboy2020-w4c]

only good garage rock music rn

[@lyokon8]

The bass is loud af

[@tobiasmurphy8048]
