PRAISE FOR BEASTO BLANCO
Alice Cooper -“Chuck Garric is one of those seemingly dangerous and elusive figures who is always doing
something cutting edge behind closed doors. Always writing, creating, destroying...who knows what
else. He’s a man of many talents and as expected, Chuck's new band Beasto Blanco has really hooked
me. It may come as a shock to you, but I love rock with an edge... And the video for “Breakdown” has an
edge like a switchblade.”
Johnny Depp - "What an honor to hear something as beastly and killer as this!!! It's truly, truly great and
wonderfully kind of life affirming! Makes one feel ownership of their being!"
Max Volume (KOZZ radio DJ) "Sex, Angst, Reckless Abandon and a band with a song so good I want to blast this from my car as I roll into downtown, and stay up all night looking for THE girl! Finally a band that gets it; a video that's engaging and exciting...Beasto Blanco Rules”.
Eric Singer (KISS Drummer) - "Beasto Blanco puts Chuck Garric in his natural setting.
Hitting hard and crushing all who step in his path!"
Eddie Webb (DJ, VH1) "If Rob Zombie and Trent Reznor had a bastard rock child that loved the Rolling Stones and catchy hooks from the 50's, it would be Chuck Garric and his in your face groovin' project Beasto Blanco. It's not about reinventing the wheel, it's about giving 'em fucking cool rims! I love this!"
Mikkey Dee (Motorhead Drummer) – “LIVE FAST DIE LOUD” is a real ass-kicker and I wouldn't expect anything less when Chuck is at the forefront, keep slammin!
Katherine Turman (Music journalist) - "Beasto Blanco's "Breakdown' is an awesomely dirty, pedal-to-the-metal rocker. With industrial-tinged beats, propulsive energy, slick guitar solos, cool choruses and nasty-girly backup vocals, fans of classic rock and metal will worship 'Breakdown' and its equally dark and sexy".
Dare I say: "Unleash-o the Beasto?"
Bob Ezrin (Producer): "Chuck Garric is modern day monster, one of the most talented and heaviest rock musicians I've ever worked with!"
