About Me


Real Hardcore Punk at its best!
THE KUNG FU KILLERS:
Wuuuahhh!!! Hi-Yaahhh!!!
The Kung Fu Killers come flying at ya with real Old-School Hardcore Punk, just like they used to make em back in the day, but with some extra modern spice thrown in for good measure! Picking up where Black Flag, Adolescents, TSOL, Social Distortion, CH3, Shattered Faith, Germs, Weirdos, Avengers, the Bad Brains, the Misfits, Discharge, etc., (and a bit of 45 Grave and Christian Death thrown into the mix as well!) left off, the Kung Fu Killers crush, kill, and destroy all that sissy pop-punk stuff and rambling alternative poop to bring you the toughest stuff. Yeah, KFK delivers the goods and kicks ass! You know it, baby! The mystery men of KFK come to the arena with a long and strong history, featuring members from such legendary groups as Hole Shot, Voice of Doom, the Doom Patrol, Christian Death, and EF. Feel the force, you will not be disappointed! Now more than ever, we need the real thing, we need clear out that wimpy pop shit using punk’s name for profits and get some real meat on the table! Save our children!!!!!

NEW ALBUM INFORMATION!
THE KUNG FU KILLERS - "Fists of Fury" - Real Hardcore Punk at its Best !
Finally! After their critically acclaimed CD EP on TKO Records, this record marks the first full length release by The Kung Fu Killers, featuring wild 80s style old-school hardcore punk mixed with 80s style post-Punk, with all the vibrancy and excitement that the first Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Bad Brains, Misfits, 45 Grave, Christian Death, and Discharge records brought the first time around. No shit.
KFK proudly presents some hard-fisted tunes that were engineered by Kevin Lacatena, in the glorious suburbs of New Jersey. The songs feature 10 spanking new originals and three covers (Bad Brains, Adolescents, and a hardcore punk version of The Monroes 80s radio hit) on this a full album.
No sissy pop here, KFK feature members from bona fide 80s hardcore bands such as Christian Death, Hole Shot, Voice of Doom, The Doom Patrol, Crimson Gash, and other others. Yes, this is the real thing by the real people, and sorely missed! But, the time is now ripe for saving our children from the brain rot that has gripped them for the past decade! The de-programming has begun!!!!
Enter the Dragon, enter The Kung Fu Killers!
- First CD ep (of their two singles plus bonus tracks of Black Flag and Misfits covers) were widely hailed by music fans and fanzines alike. Who gets reviews like this nowadays: “I thank God every day that I have this!”, we ask you!
- 3 great covers songs, Bad Brains “The Big Takeover”, Adolescents “The Wrecking Crew”, and recharged punkified version of The Monroes “What Do All The People Know”.
- Previous record received lots of radio airplay on punk specialty shows.
- All-star “Secret” band members !

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING:
"i felt the fist, i felt the fury and it's got a hellofa punch
first off i really liked the packaging, the chinese takeout box and thanks for the stickers.
fist of fury is a breath of fresh raging air, it took me back to a time when hardcore was new and meant something. i was riding my bike all over town with a walkman listening to bad brains and black flag. i could go on and on about each song on this album but the whole thing is really good. especialy their cover of bad brains "the big takeover" and the monroes "what do all the people know" to their very own "prison planet". there really isn't a song i don't like. im wondering when these guys are gonna come to texas!"
