A message from K.E.
Kill Effect was created in 2007, and after the initial few years of finding a balance, the 3 pieces of the puzzle that would engine the train for the next decade came together in 2010. Through highs and lows, watching bands and friends come and go, playing festivals in front of thousands, to dive bars in front of staff, the train kept moving.
Life happened and after a short hiatus, the band returned to a different kind of scene, where mostly all our connections were gone, leaving us basically back at square one. We attempted to get back out to continue to establish our name, but were met with road blocks and seemingly ignored by many of the promoters and venues in our area. We were mislabled and pushed aside simply because of one word in our name (KIIILLLL!!!!), leaving the band stuck spinning our wheels in the mud.
In 2020, after 10 years, one of the three pillars of the band decided to step away. We decided to continue on, work on new music and when the time was right, attempt to find a third member.
Then, the world shut down, which was fine, as we had music to write and record. When we felt ready, we were on the hunt to complete the 3 piece band once again and get the train back on track.
We contemplated changing our name, in hopes that it would turn our luck around, but the more we thought about how much time, work and effort we sunk into the band and name, it made no sense to us.
After a few more bumps, a couple more restarts, we finally locked in a bassist and we were able to play the odd show here and there thanks to new friends.
We released 2 songs from the upcoming EP with 2 new self shot, self edited music videos. Things were moving again, but just as we got a little bit comfortable, a technical issue occured, and we basically lost the remaining 4 songs that were to be released on the new EP.
As always, we decided to just keep on going, however, after a lackluster 2025, it was time to make some decisions.
We joke that Kill Effect is "the oldest band you've never heard of", but in reality we have a long history with many stories, and we feel it's time to close yet another chapter in the book of K.E.... and start a new one....
