Killer Songs - Killer Albums - Kill Hannah


There are a few bands out there who do their business. Quite a few actually; they've got their collective together, they've got their fanbase, and they've got their unique style of music. What do they do with it? They make an album, tour like all get out, they have a grand ol' time, and... poof.

Yes, some bands just disappear. Wax On Radio, Brand New... just a few examples of bands who try to fall off the radar once their business is complete. Certainly there's no problem with this, as every group of minstrels needs a good rest. And thus, it is entirely possible that they disappear straight off the musical map for awhile.

Kill Hannah is not one of these bands. Flying the Illinois flag high in Chicago, Kill Hannah has - as far as I can honestly tell - always been busy. They are constantly on tour, constantly making music, and when it doesn't seem like they're doing anything else, they have tonnes of guest DJ'ing gigs all around the Windy City. But, it's time for Kill Hannah to get particularly busy...

A new album! It's been three years of touring and pleasing their loyal fans with wild, unique, and all around awesome rock concerts - all supporting the release of their previous album of critical acclaim, Until There's Nothing Left Of Us - Kill Hannah is set to release their brand new album, Wake Up The Sleepers, in September. They're on tour at the moment, but come the end of September, you can expect very good things from these Chicagoan natives.

Presently, Kill Hannah has released their latest song... well, sort of. It's not a new song to old school Kill Hannah's song - an old dance track from back in the day - but this time with a full band. You can check it out straight up in all its rock-out glory on their Myspace right now.

Wake Up The Sleepers was released on 09/29/09 and the proudest album of Kill Hannah's career. Going back to the way things were when they were doing it themselves,m producing the album themselves and promoting the band after shows themselves, they return to that mentality and give fans what they are really looking for when it comes to their music and what to expect. The title, "Wake Up The Sleepers" is a call to the music industry as is is today, where people are caring less and only looking at the business side and forgetting what its all about; the music. This album is a fantastic mix of dance songs with heavier undertones and darker themes. The lyrics are more in depth and personal and Mat Devine's vocals are on point all the way. This album is completely worth every penny. You may purchase the album at Killhannah.com, iTunes, and amazon.com.

It's finally here! There are no words to describe how happy I am with this album! Each song is different, and in a good way - you can see how they draw different influences from different bands. There's no one else like them; they are my absolute favorite. You can connect with each song; each one is as good as the last. I couldn't ask the band for anything better. So buy it now!
