The Shrieks? The Glam Rockers from New York City? Not today!
"Killer's Kiss" is the newest EP by Helsinki's Psychobilly and Horror Punk quartet The Shrieks. Half a decade after the release of their album "Get over here", the wild band from Finland is back with four killer tracks.


Super fast and driving drums beats interlock with a dominant upright bass and shake your whole body. The guitars add to these gorgeous dynamics with little distortion by crazily high motion and create a highly exciting mix of 77 Punk and Psychobilly. And on top there are the powerful vocals that are almost always supported by the whole band's backing voices. That's where The Shrieks show they are not only four musicians, but they work as a band. The result is an awesome harmonic and ass-kicking record.


"Killer's Kiss" is full-throttle Psychobilly with the nonchalant attitude of 77 Punk, the power of a kung fu sensei, and the atmosphere of a 70s Horror movie. If you like bands like Amyl and the Sniffers, The Horropops, Erection or The Baboon Show, you should not hesitate getting a copy of this amazing 7''.
