Billboard

Kill Your Romeo

Kill Your Romeo will kill your thirst for gripping, original music. This band blends post-hardcore indie defiance with pop-friendly accessibility, energy with melody, to craft a sound that is bristling with electricity and charming with its songwriting sensibilities. Standing as the natural convergence of the direction of music, drawing on its history and moving ahead as the next step of artistic evolution, Kill Your Romeo has arrived with a vengeance.

Personal

For Kill Your Romeo, making great music means making it personal. This band draws from the innermost truths within the members souls and psyches to create songs that are deeply personal yet able to reach out to people with messages the audience can understand. It needs to draw on personal feelings and thoughts, says Mike Sullivan of Kill Your Romeo. The irony is that by finding the most individual voice inside ones self, one is tapping into a universal vibe to which everybody can relate. This is a truth demonstrated with clarity and musical accomplishment in the music of Kill Your Romeo. To relate to your music is to not be the only one who feels the way that you do, Sullivan declares.

Journey

Its a CD based on a personal journey, Sullivan says of the new album Pleasant Point. And by personal journey, Sullivan means the steps of one who follows his own path rather than succumbs to mediocrity. I do find some distaste in people feeling the need to bend and form into what everyone else is, he says. This isnt me saying, Hey, be completely off-the-wall for attention, but be what you feel is right. The album draws on a number of conceptual sources to share its message of individuality and its a CD that will truly reach the masses and teach each listener how to be him- or herself within that mass.

The Artist at Work

Kill Your Romeo prides itself on writing and performing tight music. The group put much effort into the songs on their new album, honing them to near perfection before even hitting the studio. We had much of the album written and rehearsed before we went in to record, with minimal changes in the studio. The group is set to perform with Four Years Strong of Surrender Records in June. A tour is in the works for the summer, as well. Kill Your Romeo is working with A&R Select, the leading A&R firm in Hollywood, CA.

Review

"Kill Your Romeo is killing more than Romeos. This band has skewered the spirit of blas mainstream musical boredom." A&R Select

We are still in need of any extra help for our return such as, RECORD LABELS, BOOKING COMPANIES, CLOTHING LABELS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ALL OUR FANS ALREADY AND THE ONES TO BE. We Love to hear from all of you.
