Killola Louder, Louder

Quernzy's Review of
KILLOLA
Louder, LOUDER!


Entertain Me.

As a Live band, Killola is ... how can I describe them and do them justice? Grand, Exciting, Incredible ... SPECTACULARIFFIC! They've been referred to as a Rock N Roll Lapdance and you can add my lap to the list of satisfied customers. For those of you out there like myself who are sick of hearing CDs that pale in comparison to the band’s live show or vice versa, rest assured that Louder, LOUDER! does not disappoint. It's short and sweet with rockin' beats and driving guitar riffs. Lisa's voice has a Gwen-ish style, but with more edge and resonance. A lot more. There's a little added dose of punk rock in her pipes that let's you know she means business. Even her screams are musical.

Their sound is so satisfying, filling every melodic sense in your head, and other regions, with a different beat that keeps you moving. I'm in love with Get Around, the tight drum and bass beat on Barrel of Donkeys, and the in-your-face attitude Hollow. Every song is full of conviction and pumping rhythms, slowing down only for a moment (4 minutes, 55 seconds to be exact) in the sweet, soulful It's All Right.

The lyrics to Barrel Of Donkeys best sum it up:

SO TELL YOUR MOTHER, YOUR FATHER, YOUR SISTER, YOUR BROTHER, YOUR COUSIN, YOUR AUNTIE, YOUR BABY DADDY...TELL LOU REED, YOUR BEST FRIEND, WE ROCK YOU TO NO END! AIN'T NO NEED TO PRETEND. WE'RE TAKING BACK, OH YEAH, WE'RE TAKING BACK OUR ROCK N ROLL!

It’s about time somebody took it back. Consider my Rock N Roll conquered.

Louder, LOUDER! is available now at Amoeba Music, and soon at Tower Records.
