Well its kinda obvious that we're gonna be a mix of the above isn't it! Just imagine taking a 60's garage band, make them sound more modern, turn the volume up, put a supercharger on the speed, add stoopid 'B'movie lyrics, check twangy guitar, check fuzz guitar, check thundering drums and bass!
Skulking around in the shadows for some 10 years or so now Kill Van Helsing are still a force to be reckoned with. Shows are fewer and far between due to the band being spread over the south of England but the boys really appreciate getting together to play, and when they do- it's moider! What ever happened to 'Hart to Hart' eh?
Kill Van Helsing have supported many great names over the years and appeared at Glastonbury 4 times, though unfortunately didn't make it into the film! THQ have borrowed one of their songs and turned it into a game and the boys are waiting for Hugh Jackmans return so they can be paid loads of cash for their name to be used as the title of the next film!
Hey! Appologies if this is the second comment we've sent you recently...bit of a mix up in the bands communication :)
Anyway.. we've been a little quiet for the last few months but we are very pleased to announce our new EP is finished and up on our myspace! It's called Bright Lights and has four brand spanking new tracks to blow your mind. Please have a listen and tell us what you think and if you love it, buy it! :)
