KILL YOUR IDOLS
Funeral For a Feeling (no label)
Reviewed by Jason Thornberry

---

They’ve been called the hardest working band still bringing volatile, no mercy, skippity punk rock to the punters, many of whom are sporting ink bearing their name. The song "Madly" segues into "Young (At Heart)" with some cool guitar swells and quick whacked-out feedback noise that sounds like a dying refrigerator.

Their fresh way of approaching these seventeen songs rescues them from the legions of lazy bands still playing "punk" because many started in the garage a few years ago worshipping at the altar of Billie Joe & Co (Green Day). Kill Your Idols seems like melodi-punk was a probably bit too nice sounding for them to even consider, and would gladly take Peni or Discharge over some jovial surf-core any time.
