Shoemaker Levee

Recently we had the pleasure of catching Kill/Death Radio in Barrie, ON.

The frenetic energy of these talented musicians engaged all of us, non-stop, from start to finish.

Their latest release “In Love” perfectly captures this energy as well as the multi-faceted writng style inherent in the rest of their catalogue.

Catchy, quirky, never predictable yet always accessible, this track is loaded with hook after ear-worm hook with a nice dynamic shift mid-song. The production is great with stellar lead-vocals and harmonies which remind us at times of early Dallas Green, in a great way! Guitars are articulate yet warm and friendly on the ears. The drums are gloriously relentless and situated perfectly in context, adroitly guiding the song through tight corners with great feel for each section. The bass is tight and supportive, in lock step with the Kick drum, lifting the bridge section and providing the perfect canvas on which to paint this killer song.

If you love alt-rock and grunge along the lines of great writers like Queens of the Stoneage and Alexisonfire check out In Love and watch for more releases from Kill/Death Radio.

Make a point of catching a show soon, we did and are looking forward to the next one already!
