Quotes: "Crankshaft writes great songs, and sings them with passion. The energy at his live shows is undeniable, and he won't rest until everyone in the room is rockin' and rollin' with him." "Many are called but few are chosen. In the case of Alex "Crankshaft" Larson, not only does he have the determination and drive to get noticed, but he has the goods to back it up. He's a musical craftsman of the tradition of the finest classic rock and blues. Crankshaft's songs are stories set to grooves that connect with the audience." "Strong and immediate songwriting, his personal experiences become universal on every song. Crankshaft is definitely helping to carry on important musical traditions, but you do not have to know that or care about that to enjoy his latest release "What You Gonna Do?". This is a record that can and will be appreciated by musicians and non-musicians alike." "Alex is a hard worker. His diligence and attitude always make for a well-thought out and successful show. From playing on the hood of moving car to playing all the instruments onstage, his passion is clear from the moment he enters a venue."

Crankshaft has been pounding the pavement since 2008, developing his own "pork neck" style along the way. A sound heavily rooted in rock 'n' roll, blues, country, swing, and surf that "could not have been imagined prior to the early punk scene," as described by Dig In Magazine. Rock solid original lyrics, a dedicated fan base, and his 21st century twist on the American roots is pushing him to the top of the crowded Minneapolis music scene in a hurry. It's becoming clear to many that Crankshaft is "one of the best and most interesting roots, rock and blues acts playing around town these days." - Cities 97.
