No Holds-Barred Rock and Roll!
author: Real Detroit Weekly
Like the powerful onslaught of heavy riffs and cranked-up rawk known of their high-energy live performances, 60 Second Crush's sound smacks through like a wicked slap in the face on their latest CD "Scratch." The 12-song collection is straight pp, no holds-barred rock 'n' roll - little gimmick and very little room for the weak. Soaring guitars, a pounding rhythm secion, and Tom Harman's intense vocal delivery all fits together nicely to make this one of Detroit's premiere local powerhouses. "Sister Suicide" opens the album with a slower more psychedelic vibe; but soon the groove gets more hardcore, resulting in a wicked collection of punishing alternative rock. Scratch is a scorching album filled with gigantic riffs, blasing energy and bone-cracking confidence.
REASON TO BUY: You pride yourself with a CD collection composed of blasting, bruising, merciless rock'n'roll.

Dirty Crunchy Rock!
author: The South End
Dirty, crunchy rock meets slick production on 60 Second Crush’s latest album, Scratch, which is destined to set the standard of rock in this city for some time to come. This CD is full of heavy riff intros, breakdowns in the middle and climaxes at the end of every song, kind of like good sex.
An autobiographical album, all 12 songs relate to love, broken relationships and broken friendships. The highlights here are “What’s On Your Mind,” “Everyday Girl” and “Fading Away” the great unorthodox tempos in the first two as well as a cool tribal intro in “Writing On The Wall.”
Overall, though, this band seriously kicks ass! If
you’re tired of the White Stripes, Kid Rock, or geriatric has-beens like Ted Nugent representing where you’re coming from, then check out 60 Second Crush’s Scratch and find out what Detroit’s sound used to be about: solid rock ‘n’ roll.
