Pick of the Month

The Knitting Factory

"...Kill Radio is a band with a little more energy than can be trapped on the Cobalt Stage. The singers pure adrenaline sent him bouncing from one side of the stage to the other and even once on top of the bass players 8 x 10 bass cabinet (about 4ft up). The bands got all the elements of early punk, the open chords, straight ahead melodic driving bass lines, mixed with the influence of rap rock and alternative. Underlying political themes are rampant in Kill Radio's material, not intended for the happy go lucky Britney audience. The lyrics are fast paced but the music keeps up. Fans of the older punk rock will probably dig this bands raw approach to their songwriting and their ability to remain solid in the process. The CD was only $1 and I think they spray painted the CD itself (something I've never seen done before). Their CD had a completely different vibe then their live show, not quite as free spirited, energetic and or raw. See them live to form your own opinion." -The LA Music Scene
