Your sister's not a virgin anymore. She hangs out with the boys in Kill Cheerleader.

Childhood friends with a fetish for early Guns N' Roses and Motley Crue, they learned their instruments together while practicing songs from old Stooges records. Soon they began writing original songs with the intent of tearing shit apart and creating raw and powerful anthems like their musical heroes before them.  They started off playing shows in Toronto but were banned from clubs for their off stage antics. They moved to L.A. and gained a following for their destructive and fresh take on dirty punk-metal. 7000 demo CDs were sold off the stage and soon a German record label licensed one of their unmixed/unmastered recordings and released it as "Gutter Days".

One reviewer called it "The greatest punk n' roll recording ever made. Completely redefined excellence in that genre. I am shaken" - House of Smut. A guitarist from a rival band called them "The Sound of Desperation" (Ky Anto). Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue called them, “the best new band" in his online journal. Alternative Press called them a "band to watch." Even rock legend Lemmy from Motorhead invited them to open their U.K. tour and talked about them on SuicideGirls.com and in Playboy. 

While the world tires of waiting for Axl Rose to get off his ass and release Chinese Democracy, Kill Cheerleader is set to deliver what may be the most potent shot of hard rock since the days when balls-out, reckless, leather-clad Rock ‘N’ Roll ruled the Sunset Strip in the eighties. Infused with a hellish, punky spunk and enhanced by alcohol-fueled, fiery guitar solos, the harsh pop metal sounds of Kill Cheerleader update the streetwise vibes of bands such as LA Guns and Guns N’ Roses on tracks like the hard-hitting, bullish “No Feelings” and the rave-up opening anthem “Sell Your Soul.” Their rough and ragged image calls up notions of street urchin sleaze and much like their gutter rock forefathers, Kill Cheerleader display a sufficient amount of attitude to back up their insidiously rocking music. “Deathboy” includes a chanting verse atop a big, strumming riff, then the group strips things down for a melody line-tagging lead that is edgy and headbangingly seductive. There’s certainly no denying that the group often sound very similar to early LA Guns, but Kill Cheerleader has an additional recklessness about them that’s more often found in bands like Dwarves. Music of this type is made to be cranked up loud as hell and turning up tracks like “Want Action” and “Bad Habit” to extreme volumes should be considered as being mandatory. A spacey, obligatory ballad, “No Lullabies”, showcases the softer side of the group’s personality but this sound is much more Monster Magnet than “The Ballad Of Jayne.” Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of this entire record is that it comes across as bring very honest and not forced in terms of performance. It’s evident that these guys can really feel the music and it shows in their execution. Most importantly, the performance backs up the sneering delinquency on this record, making it essential for fans of straight-ahead, spitfire-rocking mayhem. Pop wannabes and one-note-Charlies be dammed, Kill Cheerleader is coming to crash the party with “All Hail”, one of the most riveting Rock 'N' Roll hellrides that fans will experience this year. Get ready for hell to break loose with the release of this decidedly killer record.
