   About KILLSONIC

"Swathed in red scarves and homemade insignias, the local jazz-punk 20-piece soon sold the captive audience on their brand of highly technical and freewheeling bombast. With no fewer than five vintage squeezeboxes and a horn section blessed with a handful of virtuosos, Killsonic marched their final song out of the venue and finished as they hit the street."

LA Weekly

"Killsonic is a sight to behold–the members are all ages and seem to come from all walks of life. I’d describe their set as “emotional” for lack of a better word. The crashing symbols and hardcore horns managed to capture the mood of society right now: the tension, the uncertainty, the euphoria, the anticipation. It really worked for me. Actually, it was so good that we were afraid that Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin were going to bust in any moment and announce that we were all under arrest and that our existences had been vaporized."

KILLSONIC is a musicians' collective operating in the greater Los Angeles area.....


We have two CDs for sale. The first came out in 2007. The cover art looks like this:

Our second CD was released on 6-27-09. The cover art looks like this:

You can buy them directly from us at our shows. Or you can order here.

But honestly now, we'd prefer if you came up to us and said "Hi!" and then gave us hugs and coyly but sincerely told us how much you liked the show and then asked, "Can I buy a CD?" and then gave us some paper US currency.

Dearest killsonic

I would like to thank all you for coming down & being part of our Amar Fest 09.
You were truly amazing, we hope that you had as much of a good time as The Amar Collective. Wish you luck over at new york I'm sure you will blow them away with your great musicians and awesome team work. The Compilation should be out sometime in October and I will be sure to send you a copy. Great working with all of you that took part in the comp. Couldn't have done it without you, see some of you cool cats at the tribal show in september. Have a great & safe trip

much love

-isobel with the Amar Collective-
