Yes, there are two of them, and yes, one of them plays guitar and sings, and one plays the drums. However, Northerners The Old Romantic Killer Band do not necessarily fit the blues duo stereotype, and they are most certainly not the White Stripes (end of the line, comparison junkies). For sure, there’s a lot of bluesy influence and southern USA drawls within Killer Band’s more languid, smooth tunes but at times they display an underlying, visceral sense of viciousness and ferocity; the group’s latest single, “You Don’t Know How To Love” being a prime example, with it’s jarring, tubular guitar sound and smirking, seductive vocal delivery. Sure, you can dance to these guys, and they may smile wryly at you from the stage, but they’ve got a sharp and poisonous edge to them – best not to get too close…
The Old Romantic Killer Band’s single, “You Don’t Know How To Love” is out now on Bad Sneakers Records.
