KIRBY KRACKLE has risen through the ranks of nerd-rock to emerge as the leader in a new movement of geek-driven musical inspiration. Putting on a high-energy rock n' roll show, and writing songs referencing pop-culture icons, comic book characters, and video games, KIRBY KRACKLE's name has become synonymous with meshing nerd themes together with superior musicianship.

A grassroots movement emerged in 2011 when thousands of Krackleheads (the KK fan base) pushed for the KK anthem "Ring Capacity", inspired by the DC Comics Green Lantern character, to be included on the soundtrack for the recent film adaptation. During this time KK released their highly anticipated third album, "Super Powered Love," which included the track "Who Watches The Watcher?"; a theme song commissioned by DISNEY/MARVEL COMICS for their viral webshow "The Watcher."

Currently the band continues to create new songs and videos while playing numerous live shows and events.
