Happy Days at iTunes:


Born from the influences of the rave scene and the rock driven sound of the likes of Led Zeppelin, Killaflaw are an explosive act. They consist of Benn Helm on main vocals and guitar with Andy Paton providing synths, samplers, drum machines, occasional vocal harmonies and trumpet. Killaflaw are a crossover act fusing a wide variety of musical genres, from hard hitting rock driven breakbeat, bouncy electro to more acoustic blues infused guitar, vocal and trumpet material. Howlin' Wolf's tune 'Killing Floor', a song covered by Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, is from where the Killaflaw name originates and the band have also done their own unique version of this song.Helm's raw, energetic and bluesy vocal style, unique songwriting skills and talent for memorable and catchy guitar riffs are essential to the Killaflaw sound. Paton then comes into his own, with the ability to create and deliver up a slicing breakbeat, an arse dribbling bassline and a heart breaking melody on synth or trumpet.Killaflaw are now in the public and media focus and are fast gathering momentum, mainly due to the fact that they are one of most unique and stunning studio and live acts you are likely to hear and see. With bullhorn breaks and mesmerizing melodies, quirky bursts of trumpet, catchy guitar riffs and a truly face melting and melodic vocal, the Killaflaw sound is redefining what you might consider to be great music. Enjoy.
