Eric Law's 2005 Live Show Year In Review
“2005 also was the year the Killer Abs made their debut. I quickly became a fan. What's not to like? Five pretty women, bashing out your punk rock favorites like it was 1976. They obviously are having so much fun, and their smiles and laughter are infectious.â€

T.T. The Bear’s, Cambridge MA 12/30/06
"This is something like the third time I’ve seen Killer Abs, and I realize how easy it would be to dismiss them as a minor amusement—a ladies-only punk rock cover band. But here’s the thing: they perform with more genuine soul and love for the art style than many bands playing originals. They deserve some sort of spiritual credit for their good work. They deserve some sort of credit for their version of “Love Love Love†which is surely a thing of beauty. It would be aesthetic heaven to see Killer Abs playing a hotel bar, Holiday Inn, or bowling alley! Please, Lord—let me experience that one before I die!"

"Killer Abs proceed to kick our butts and I enjoy (while only slightly distracted by the dual ponytail cuteness that embodies Kimi Hendrix) songs by The Buzzcocks, Bags, Neighborhoods, etc." - Slimedog

"They scream, they sing, they fall down, they take their clothes off, they cross-dress, they vomit."
