Kill Cheerleader


Right. Kill Cheerleader play a mix of garage / punk rawk music that, if you have ever had a special taste for the Stooges, MC5, AC/DC, Ramones, early GN'R, will get you hooked right from the start. Oh, they also sound like Turbonegro, which has been one of my all-time favourite bands for a while now; because of all this, 3-4 Kill Cheerleader songs are constantly present on my MP3 player.

There seems to be quite a bit of mythology going on behind this band: rumour has it that Nikki Sixx (yes, him) has recommended them through his personal blog, and that Lemmy (yes, him!) at some point invited them over to the UK, in order to open some of his shows. I haven't been able to check how valid these rumours are, but even if they are 100% true I wouldn't be surprised.

To my humble opinion, Kill Cheerleader are a great Canadian garage punk band, and if that is your cup of tea, then you should definitely give them a chance. They won't let you down.

More info can be found on their Myspace page (their official website seemed to be down last time I checked), with streaming songs and MP3 downloads. Also have a look at this video, hosted on YouTube.
