About The Old Romantic Killer Band

WE ARE DEAD UNTIL THE SWAN ARRIVES. BARE WITH US WHILE WE SORT THIS FUCKING RECORD OUT PLEASE DUDES.

WE WOULD TOTALLY LOVE TO PLAY THE GREEN MAN FESTIVAL - ARCHIE BRONSON AND HOWLIN RAIN?! PLEASE HELP US -

http://www.thegreenmanfestival.co.uk/greenpoll/artist/old-romantic-killer-band

Yo, if you guys vote for us, we can play this festival. The band with the most votes at the moment only have 185, we know we can beat that, show us you're love, we've been working damned hard this year and we need a holiday!!!

..We are The Old Romantic Killer Band and we live in Yorkshire. We blend folk and blues and punk and we used to have a basement to practise in but now we're big shots with an actual real-life rehearsal space - sell outs. We have a single out on Bad Sneakers Records and you should buy it! Right here!!

NICE WORDS:

"Still keeping with the two pieces, less garage rock and more rhythm and blues were The Old Romantic Killer band. They sound like The White Stripes being bummed by an extra confrontational Who. With amps turned up to deaf-inducing levels it was a case of catching the orchestrated apocalypse unfolding before the Old Street pub crowd while pinned up against the back wall. Seriously, with their bluesy rollock still ringing in my ears, if ORKB smelt any stronger or brilliance you could probably paint a white stripe on it and call it a skunk. Sniff. The duo certainly make your mind whirr with excitement and your legs wobble in post coital pleasure. And they're only just on the brink of releasing thier debut single. Catch them before they get over produced and primmed for Virgin Radio by some major label engineer...Big things beckon." - Artrocker March '08

'You Dont Know How to Love' - Top 5 singles : John Kennedy, XFM

"The Old Romantic Killer Band are the real deal; a genuinely exciting prospect for 2008 who surely won't remain under the radar for much longer" - Drowned in Sound April '08

This review is funny as hell.

This is pretty rad, too.

Forest of Sound	Jun 4 2008 8:37 AM Koen Holtkamp is no stranger to producing beautiful music. Expect layers of warm organic noise and found sound combine to make pieces that are both gorgeously minimalistic and endlessly deep. He's making the trip over from New York to celebrate the launch of his new album on Type records, and you'd be a fool to miss him! Gorgeously organic music that washes over you and through you - the best of all ambient music understands the importance of holding back, of understatement, of beauty - Pausal achieve this, and more. Stunning stuff for a night of pure sonic bliss. Forest of Sound's favourite one man laptop genius, randomNumber, comes back to regale us with his excellent and deeply inventive brand of electronica. There's a reason that he's so energetic in his performance - his music is brilliant. Simple. As. A Forest of Sound presentation. It’ll be £5 on the door, and doors are at 8pm. Join the Last FM fun here.
