The rock band Killerball had a somewhat intense festival Summer where they performed at both the new Bråvallafestivalen as well as at Hultsfredsfestivalen among others, but now they seem to be busy in the songwriting chamber for the rest of the year. Meanwhile we can enjoy their latest single “Hype”, with the music video they released some months ago.
Just before Christmas Killerball released the single “Lost In the Woods”. The song is taken from the EP “Good Memories, Good Morning”, an EP that so far only exists as a physical CD-album. Unlike the electrified debut EP “St. Epone”, which was released in 2011, all the songs are acoustic, which feels just right.
Since the cornerstone of the band have been their performances on streets and squares, their special characteristics shows much better here and besides the new acoustic versions of the earlier songs “Forcefed” and “I Can’t Find It” they also present more sides of their music than the blues based rock they have recorded before. “Lost In the Woods” is my favourite from the new EP where they in the beginning start digging in the grounds around Buffalo Springfield in the late sixties before they give hints of Paul Rodgers-contellations and also to what they’ve done before. Mystique, some psychadelia, folk rock and really sweet.
I apologize for a rather slow week of blogging. I hope to put things in order again with a large dose of rock, coming from Killerball and their new EP “St. Epone”.
Killerball was formed already in 2003 when the members met on a high school trip. They then let the band develop slowly to find their own way and style. In 2009 they started writing songs for the album “St. Epone” with a “doesn’t-matter-if-it-sounds-new-or-old”-attitude and they entered their own studio to record the songs.
“St. Epone” was released in May and serves some great rock, full of energy. They mix styles but still manage to maintain their own character throughout the album; from messy garage rock’n’roll and hard rock to vibes of alternative rock and some post grunge. Listen for yourself here below.
