Killola

Good rock bands are so hard to come by these days. That's why Killola are a breath of fresh air. They're by far the best new rock band of this decade. I pity the fool who disagrees! :) Fronted by actress Lisa Rieffel, K)) will kick you in the throat only to watch you laugh it off. What else is rock for, eh? Lisa's vocals are also like no one else's out there.

The band not only gives fans the option to buy or download their music for free, but those with Killola tattoos get in their shows for free as well. But possibly the most interesting thing about this band is the origin of their name...

While living together in a Los Angeles apartment in the middle of forming, along came Ray, a Craigslist find. One morning, Ray and his belongings were nowhere to be found. All that he left behind was the cryptic word "Killola" smeared on the bathroom mirror - in mayonnaise! And the rest is history.

I Am The Messer (as well as albums by many other up-and-coming acts and a handful of those already famous) can also be downloaded on True Anthem. "Connecting the Band to the Fan with a Brand"... This is where I got the above from. At the beginning of every track there is an introduction and ad from the band shouting out to the sponsor who made it possible to share it for free. In this case, DW Drums. The ads are not intrusive at all. In fact, they add introspect to the artists' character or lack therof. Killola are an excellent example of this, particularly Lisa opening the band's tracks with goofy charisma!
