The Courtesy Kill

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator'The Courtesy Kill return now with 2 boys and 3 girls with a brand new guitarist. The band mix up the best of AFI, The Smashing Pumpkins and The Smiths to produce great catchy, pop alternative rock tunes. In singer Cat they perhaps have the next Debbie Harry or Shirley Manson and hopefully 2008 will see The Courtesy Kill rise and take their glamour and charm around the country.'

'The Courtesy Kill command the stage and look relaxed with it. Their sound is tight and accomplished, mixing memorable harmonies with attacky guitars, and bringing to mind No Doubt as the only obvious point of reference. Frontwoman Cat is simultaneously shy and confident, an act which endears the audience and causes a good deal of crowd participation... They are without doubt one of the brightest musical prospects Oxford currently has to offer.'
