Sometimes you feel the need to ask what the hell is happening in the punk and hardcore scene, as there are so many bands that gain so much success without doing anything: maybe they are on a major label, maybe they do one good hit single that get played too many times on the radio and on tevelsion. And at the same time, there are some bands that work so much without getting a lot out of their life on tour, putting out albums on small independent record labels and still they do not seem to be as lucky as the bands mentioned above.

Well, I always put Kill Your Idols in the second category of hardcore bands: they work their asses off ot get some more exposure, and in fact they toured the U.S. about 26 times, and also toured all over Europe, Japan and even Korea, and have already released some good records, as the critically acclaimed “No Gimmicks Needed” and “This is Just the Beginning”, both on Blackout Records, and a lot of seven inches and various split records, also with such bands as The Nerve Agents.

Finally, with a new label and a new record, Kill Your Idols are ready to get the exposure they deserve in the world wide comunity of punk and hardcore music. “Funeral For A Feeling” is 17 tracks album that is about 34 minutes long, which means that the songs are fast, furious and with a kicking drumming that seems not to stop even between a song and another. These five guys prove that together with such bands as H2O, Good Riddance, 7 Seconds and a few others, they are the hardcore! And if this was not enough, such songs as “Dead By Dawn”, “All That And Vans Too!”, the Poison Idea cover “Made To Be Broken” show the skills of Kill Your Idols.

If you are into hardcore you do not need me to listen to “Funeral For A Feeling”, but if you can hardly listen to hard music with fast choruses and powerful guitar riffs, this album may cause a damage to your brain. ( Carlo )
