wm.allaccess.com/allaccess/killlips.wmaYay, another band with the word "kill" in their name. and yes, they sound like those bands as well. Its a really good song though and I think it has potential to do something like Rock Kills Kid's "Paralyzed".

Unlike the other "Kill" bands, they've been around for a while though. A friend of mine has had a "Kill Hannah" sweatshirt for at least 5 years.
This is a pretty decent song.

I remember their single "Kennedy" from a few years back. I like this one quite a bit more though.

Yeah, I think "Kennedy" ended up going down as a midweek top 50. I could be wrong. I hope this song can do well because they're pretty cool guys, and just about everything that could possibly go wrong for them has gone exactly wrong. As for the new song, so far it seems decent, although I'll have to hear it a few more times before I decide if I really like it or not.

This is more hard rocking than I Wanna Be A Kennedy, but I don't think I like it as much. At least the lead singer sounds a lot more masculine on this song. I remember after hearing it like 10 times a few years back, one of the DJs on WPBZ shocked me with that info that he was a guy, since I thought that was a girl the whole time. One of my old roommates was a big fan of theirs, and I couldn't believe they've been around since the late 80s without having any real successful hits. Kudos to them for still sticking around 15-20 years later.

I really like this song, especially how it has elements of electronica that don't compromise it's rock crediblity...is it doing anything on radio yet?

Kudos to them for still sticking around 15-20 years later. They did have a female singer named Juliette Beavan on some of their songs on previous albums, and she was the singer for Kennedy. But I will agree that the lead singer doesn't sound to manly either. Either way, I like this and hope it does well. |

Before I heard this song, I had always assumed that the singer was female, and I guess I was right in the case of "Kennedy". That's why I was taken aback when I heard the opening line of this song, and went to look up the band to find out what the scoop was.

Ugh, I never liked "Kennedy".
They don't really break any ground. The electronic sounds seem to swirl around eachother so much that songs like this just leave a nauseating feel in my stomach. This song is quite boring as well. I guess this band just isn't for me.

Dare I say it, this is one of the worst songs of the year. The musicianship is good, but it is boring as hell. How is that a man singing this song? If you listen to the verses, it sounds almost identical to "Bleed American" by Jimmy Eat World.

I didn't like this song at first, but it really has grown on me. It's the only one of my current favorites that isn't on the active rock chart.

I loved "Raining All The Time", so I had to check this out, and it's pretty good.

When is this song gonna get some airplay already?! Wow, you're right. I thought this was doing much better than #39 on Alt. I figured since they were playing so many of the radio festivals coming up soon that they're were at least in the Top 25. Well, shitballs that sucks. |

I actually think Kill Hannah are a good band, but for no reason other than my own eardrums I really can't say this song appeals to me. Or anything from their last album. So I guess it's just me. Seriously, don't the verses sound like the verses in "Bleed American", though? |

It's gotten plenty of airplay around my parts, and I got sick of it really fast.
