LISTEN: Connecticut Rockers KILLER KIN Drop Explosive New Single "Mr. Dynamite" off Forthcoming S/T Debut Album

APRIL 12, 2023 GERRY RANSON

Connecticut rockers KILLER KIN have a new single out this weekend which they're premiering exclusively with Vive Le Rock!

Riding in on a Lemmy-tastic ripsnorting fuzz-bass riff 'Mr. Dynamite' is the title track from the New Haven five-piece's debut platter, which is due out on 28 April through Dead Beat Records, also home to Austin's fabulous THE OXYS.

"If you haven't seen a hound from hell, now you've heard one!" pronounces gabby leopard-skin-trunks-favouring frontman Matt. "Our debut LP features ten chain-banging, soul-stripping and razor-sharp rock 'n' roll sluggers that are sure to have you stoned on raw powerage."

On the strength of this, who are we to disagree?
