"From Ireland, The Killing Spree have released a debut single, ’Not Your Choice/The Urge To Purge’ (Rimbaud 7") that is eerily reminiscent of some of the hard guitar groups of Midwest US’s post-punk past. Sort of edgy, slammy aggro stuff in the vein of Naked Raygun or Tar or something. What’s interesting in hearing this, is to remember anew how much of those groups’ construction-angling was later heisted by the panty boys of math-rock. Interesting to hear it pumped up again." - WIRE

I taped your 7" (home taping is killing music... yeah, what of it?) and was playing it in the car. Fan-bloody-tastic. Really. Thank you for playing bristol that time - it was an AWESOME show (2004/2005 ish) and I was sad when I completely randomly brought up your name to a promoter in Belfast and he turned out to be an ex-housemate of some of yous and he told me you'd split. Booey. x
