An Excellent BandSunday, December 26, 2004
Somewhere between Green Day and Frank Zappa, Warp 11 shows true talent and a great sense of humor. Not since The Who's "Tommy", Rush's "2112", or Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" have I felt compelled to listen to an entire album from start to finish.
No member of this band will likely be voted anything 'of the year', but together they create music that makes you want to dance, shout, laugh, bang your head, sing along, and mosh in your Star Trek uniform, all at the same time.

A Personal FavoriteThursday, September 30, 2004
Okay, I am biased. I love rock. I love sci-fi. But I have to say that the music on this album is beyond amazing! I listen to a lot of music. I own over 300 CD's. Warp 11's Red Alert is the first thing I turn on when I am looking for something that will entertain me and my friends.
First, Karl Miller's vocals are incredible as are the bass lines he lays down. Just listen to the opening of the title song and you will understand what I mean. Then listen to the guitar stylings of Mr. Brian Moore. He rivals just about any other rock guitarist out there. If Jeff Hewitt's drumming doesn't drive you to dance, you can't be breathing. What you don't hear on the albums that you get in the live shows is rock goddess, Kiki Stockhammer. The combination of these four powerful talents is something to be reckoned with.
Now, just be warned, they are a Star Trek band. With every song they pay a tongue-in-cheek homage to the beast the is the Star Trek franchise. You will fall in love with songs like "Trekkie Girl" and "Replicate (My Love)".
Having been to many shows and planning to go to more and to get any future releases, I definately recommend Red Alert and Suck my Spock to anyone looking for good music, good sci-fi and good humor all in one package!

Great music that has a sense of fun!Monday, July 26, 2004
Warp 11 can play music in a variety of styles. Their musical ability, combined with their clever lyrics make this one fun CD to blast as you cruise down the highway.
If you get a chance to see them live, don't miss out. They put on one hell of a show.

These guys rock!Friday, June 04, 2004
I just saw these guys play live last night in San Fran. They were the opening act for Richard Cheese. All I can say is that I laughed from start to finish. Their lyrics are hilarious, even more so if you're familiar with the Star Trek universe. Surprisingly, the music rocks and I bought both their cds last night. Skip the first one, "Suck my Spock", but buy this cd. It's great from beginning to end.

This cd is fun! The lyrics are witty and I find myself wanting to sing along with them. Also, the beats are groovy and I like the variety of songs and to sum it up I really have fun listening to this cd. It's definitely worth purchasing!
