Contact the KILLERS!

Loose and booty bar fight rock music played exactly the way I'm too young to remember it.  THE LITTLE KILLERS lay it down with no frills, bypassing the fuck out of all the other NYC train-jumpers you're currently digging. "Pucker Up" is the best track cuz it's got a girl-sung chorus that's so cute you'll have to break a chair over someone's head just to work off the adrenaline.  If you've ever been hungry for Saints, X, or Victims, don't be ignorant and sleep on this.  Thank me later.—Vice Magazine, 9 out of 10

"You can't put your arms around a memory," the late scuzz-guitar god Johnny Thunders once opined. Thankfully, though, some bands can – and do – embrace the chaotic rock & roll ethos that Thunders embodied with the New York Dolls and the Heartbreakers. Consider THE LITTLE KILLERS, a hopped-up New York City trio whose eponymous debut album on Crypt Records is a beautiful mess of rampaging riffs and addled attitude (you've gotta love a band whose idea of a romance lyric is "Now let's make a mess outta your life and mine").  The Killers – singer-guitarist Andy Maltz, bassist Sara Nelson, and drummer Kari Boden – knock out 10 churning originals and a smokin' cover of the Rascals' "Come On Up" in just under 28 minutes. Already, grimy scenesters are starting to praise the Killers as the greatest development in cheap thrills since the introduction of 40-ounce bottles of malt liquor – but don't let that stop you from checking them out.—Entertainment Weekly, A MINUS

THE LITTLE KILLERS rock and THE LITTLE KILLERS roll. There isn't much more to it than that. This is their first record and you would be hard-pressed to find another garage-punk-country-blues-pop band that is better than them. Their record is streamlined three chords and a curled-up lip-lock that isn't a copy of anyone. Or in thrall to anyone. The White Stripes? Too ironic and self-aware. The Hives? Not tuneful enough. The Strokes? Way too '70s. This list could go on and on but shouldn't and won't because all that really matters is the joyful noise (on teenage blasts like "Butterfingers," the cute "Pucker Up," and "Choppin' Block") that this N.Y.C. trio makes. Every song is tough as tough, a lo-fi but not sloppy blend of guitar howl and gutter croon that speeds past in a half-hour that feels like five minutes. Not a duff track to be found, this is probably the best record THE LITTLE KILLERS will ever make and it is one of the best rock & roll records of 2003. Pure rock with a sock. If that's what you like, THE LITTLE KILLERS got it and got it good.—All Music Guide, 4 1/2 STARS!!!

... a gimmick-free, no-frills grindfest of lo-fi amusements—the kind of slightly diabolical, casually sleazy stuff your Satanic hog mechanic would sandwich between Johnny Cash and Pussy Galore on a long-lost off-the-wagon weekend. Slurry rants about no-good chicks like "Jenna Lee" and "Messin' Around" are set to jagged Johnny Thunders licks and wailing, Stonesy honky-skronk; "Pucker Up" finds the band as sloppy as a drunk's kiss but just coherent enough to fool a cop...consider yourself privy to the greatest obscure American garage-rock band this side of the Mummies. —Boston Phoenix

THIS IS THE REAL THING, MOTHAFUCKER!!! THE LITTLE KILLERS got the fucking goods and you'll be crankin' this baby up over and over in disbelief! For some real gone shit that will change your life, check out THE LITTLE KILLERS NOW! —Dave the Spazz, WFMU

Best garage punk band in the USA. —blankgeneration.com

It's not often you come across such a perfect and timeless mix of rock'n'roll...THE LITTLE KILLERS have made a classic LP and saved rock'n'roll in the early 21st century. —Savage Magazine

This is some raw, dirty, put-your-ass-in-motion rock n' roll...one of those records that'll make you believe in rock n' roll again".—Cyclops Zine, 4 STARS!!

 
If you can imagine a head-on collision twixt prime Velvets, NY Dolls 'n Saints you're about halfway there. Easily the best new band on the scene. —Next Big Thing

...the throttling guitars of The Stooges, the wild-man abandon of Little Richard and the headbutting antagonism of The Saints, distilled into two-minute bursts of white heat so blinding it needs no more than two chords to make it perfect. —Logo Magazine
