Review - Kill Hannah
Kill Hannah, no, NO I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT! I was just talking about the band Kill Hannah, geez....
Kill Hannah is an Electronic Rock band from
Chicago. They currently include singer, Mat Devine, guitarist and backing vocals, Dan Wiese,
guitarist, Tom Schleiter, bassist, Greg Corner and Drummer Elias Mallin.
Mat Devine named the band Kill
Hannah after he and his girlfriend “Hannah” broke up.
The band has eight singles including
my favorites: Lips Like Morphine, Kennedy and Why I Have My Grandma’s Sad Eyes.
Kennedy was the single that put them
out there, performing it on Last Call with Carson Daly. It appeared in One
Tree Hill, Jack & Bobby and North Shore.
The band has six albums. One of
which is, Until There’s Nothing Left of Us.
This is the band’s fifth album and was
my first album from Kill Hannah. Every time I listen to it, I fall in love with
them all over again. I think it’s the electronic sound combined with Mat
Devine’s soft voice that just makes me happy whenever I hear it even, if some of
the songs are sad.
Wake Up The Sleepers is the band’s
sixth album and the best to dance to. A lot of the songs on here have a ‘Get up
and dance’ feel to them. I was excited to see they had a lot of artists
contributing to some songs like, Benji Madden of Good Charlotte and Amanda
Palmer of The Dresden Dolls. The album has a good meaning inside, with other small messages like the fourth track "Living in Misery". I find this
album polished and classic Kill Hannah.
I love this band. It’s something
about them that makes me come back for more, I can’t quite put my finger on it
but I have had friends that don’t like them, no matter how hard I tried. Which
leads me to believe that Kill Hannah is one of those bands that you either like right
away or you won’t like at all. I hope I get them more fans because I believe
they deserve it.
If you want a few songs to test the band try:
3.5 out of 5 Geegamons
