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.
