Why is there not a punk genre label? So for now, Mike Krol will head towards alternative when truly Mike Krol addresses and could care less about your style of indulgence slowly with his track 'Fifteen Minutes'. Loud, loud and let's make it louder! Maybe 'Fifteen Minutes' came about because garage rock does not follow any rules, except their must be a guitar played in the band. Or that middle America holds a secret treasure cove of reckless and infamous musicians waiting to blow up on the scene? The latter sounds more reasonable, just listen to 'Fifteen Minutes' over for a minimum of 20 times. Then it might sink in how ingenius this track has come to be.
Mike Krol has even been on Steve Universe, where the show played 'Fifteen Minutes' welding the impressionable young minds to an essence of raw garage to a generation that more than liekly would not have ever done the research to understand what "garage rock" is.
We are only given a minute and thirty-four minutes of a fantastic, spastic song. However, some of the best songs are the shortest, look at the Ramones. I even went in search for a live version of the song to see if the energy transferred through the headphones would be the same as on stage. The song played live shows Mike Krol jumping off stage and entering the crowd, to the bewilderment of everyone around Krol, the song picks up an energy faithful to any punk show played before.
