From the rolling, weathered prairies of Nebraska comes THE KILLIGANS, a whiskey-driven powerhouse of working-class passion and barn-bursting energy that has been winning new fans and admirers with every single show. The year 2007 brings their sophomore album, One Step Ahead of Hell, a new collection of audience-approved sing-along anthems that’s sure to expand their legions of followers from sea to shining sea.
The Killigans have existed in various incarnations since their inception in 2004, but as their rabid fans will testify, they have never failed to ignite the passions of anyone who wanders close enough to hear their foot-stomping, glass-raising anthems for tenacious underdogs, lonely vagabonds, and anyone who’s just trying to make it in this world. Their rapidly-growing body of work draws from the most enduring, vibrant aspects of American music - the storytelling of folk, the fighting spirit of punk rock, the heartfelt poignancy of country and the unforgiving grit of rock ‘n roll.
The Killigans are celebrated like kings in their hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska, but thanks to the magic of the internet, they have accrued an enthusiastic fan base in many parts of their own country as well as New Zealand, Australia, Asia and Europe. Their full-length debut, 2006’s Brown Bottle Hymnal, has received heavy rotation on local radio as well as internet-based radio programs such as Paddyrock.com, and has been a popular favorite on Interpunk.com, a major online retailer of independent music. Plans for more widespread touring and promotion are in progress.
One thing’s for sure – Like old-fashioned courage in spite of overwhelming odds, they’re not disappearing anytime soon.

After waking up this morning and talking to a few people, it was brought to my attention that I was completely out of line last night. I consumed entirely too much alcohol last night, which is not an acceptable excuse for my actions, but obviously impaired my judgment of thoughts and the words I said. There is no way to go back in time and change what was said or done, however, I make a promise that it will never happen again. I was a complete embarrassment to my band, the other bands, and myself. I have absolutely no idea who the people in the crowd were that I said such terrible insults too, and if they are friends, fans, or family of our band, or the other bands, I can not apologize enough. I have nothing but respect for the Killigans and the JV Allstars…They deserved better than that. SOJH has always been a band to push the boundaries of raunchy comical humor, but last night was not funny and completely crossed the line. I hope that anyone that was offended will realize that it is not typical of SOJH to play a show that impaired or say some of the things that were said. It is extremely sad that it had to be on a show in which it was Eric Mello’s final performance (A very good friend who has inspired me and made me a better bass player throughout the years) and also the night of our new album coming out. I hope anyone there that was offended reads my apology and can accept that everything I said was non-intentional and I do not believe in any of what I said. Once again I am forever sorry.
