About
The Old Romantic Killer Band are a ferocious new act who are equal parts Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Son House and Ryan Adams. Debut single "You Don't Know How To Love" saw the band receive critical acclaim and they've been tipped as one of the most exciting new British bands around. Their third live show was an official showcase gig at In the City in Manchester and from there they picked up early plays from Xfm's Jon Kennedy and landed a slot at the prestigious Nasty Fest in Leeds, where they headlined the second stage. Blending folk, punk and blues, they are two angry young men joined by their common love of great music, combined with a casual recklessness, post gig depravity and constant touring. They are releasing their debut record this September called ' The Swan With Two Necks'
"Still keeping with the two pieces, less garage rock and more rhythm and blues were The Old Romantic Killer band. They sound like The White Stripes being bummed by an extra confrontational Who.
With amps turned up to deaf-inducing levels it was a case of catching the orchestrated apocalypse unfolding before the Old Street pub crowd while pinned up against the back wall. Seriously, with their bluesy rollock still ringing in my ears, if ORKB smelt any stronger or brilliance you could probably paint a white stripe on it and call it a skunk. Sniff.
The duo certainly make your mind whirr with excitement and your legs wobble in post coital pleasure. And they're only just on the brink of releasing thier debut single. Catch them before they get over produced and primmed for Virgin Radio by some major label engineer...Big things beckon." - Artrocker
