Killola write. Killola play. Killola relentlessly promote. This four-piece band led by the venerable and sassy Lisa Rieffel is the first we signed up for LG15: The Resistance. The music kicks ass and drives scenes; their attitude is just right. Lots of punk, lots of garage. Definitely a good time. Killola brings a good time as much as they kick your ass. And they’re big fans of the show! We’ve been waiting to drop them on you for months. And the time is finally here.

Killola has been taking the world by storm since 2003 when they first started gigging around the LA indie punk scene. They embrace the Internet and have reaped the benefits all over the globe. Killola spent May 2007 touring the UK for the first time on the strength of their first single “Barrel of Donkeys”. (Check out the free “Live in England” sessions on Killola.com). They released their 2008 album “I am the Messer” on USB wristband drives and went back on the road playing 27 shows in 32 days this fall. They have no plans to let up and will be heading back out on the road in early 2009. “Messer” is raising quite a buzz in the indie world and blog circles, these guys are just getting started. Mark my words.

You might have seen Lisa R. as “Daisy” in the online series “Girltrash!” If you haven’t, go check out her performance. Lisa and guitarist Johnny Dunn also host “The Lisa and Johnny Show” on Dave Navarro’s Spread Radio Live every Monday night at 8PM (EST). Tune in, it’s a good time for sure.

Thanks to the folks at digilabel True Anthem, Killola is offering, “I am the Messer” for free on their website, commence downloading…now.

On the Fly. Off the cuff.

“Strung Out on Sunshine” – Creepy, cool. Great hook. Call KROQ. This song is a hit.

“All of My Idols are Dead” – Catchy song to say the least. Lots of heart. My idols are dead too, everything’s changin’. “This information overload is poison.”

“10,000 Pound Ego” – Speaks for itself. I wouldn’t want to piss Lisa off either.
