Description:
Exploding out of the Central Texas area, Kritickill has quickly established a strong reputation as one of the state’s hardest driving musical forces. Their unmistakable melodic style of hard-core metal and their precision-timed stage presence continue to increase their fan base and market penetration in exponential numbers. The four members, Dave Irons (Vocalist), Todd Gardner (Drummer), Donny Morse (Guitarist), and Bryan Koestens, originally found each other in 1997. In 1999, the band decided to pursue a more unique, harder-edged genre. After months of practice, re-writing, re-rewriting, and much sweat equity, the band unleashed their newfound style and name, KRITICKILL, upon the Texas music scene…. with newfound acceptance by the masses. The name Kritickill spread rapidly, leading to invitations for the band to open for noted national acts such as FEAR FACTORY, ANTHRAX, KITTIE, DROWNING POOL, THE UNION UNDERGROUND, NON POINT, HATEBREED, NO ONE, and AMERCICAN HEADCHARGE, and many others. In 2002, the band completed their second recording project, "TRUST" which has been hailed by club owners, producers, radio program directors and fellow musicians as one of THE MOST IMPRESSIVE recording projects by an unsigned act.....EVER! TRUST was released for retail sale in 2002., with sales exceeding 5000 copies to date. In 2003, the band launched an all out assault onto the radio airwaves and A&R reps everywhere with FOUR new tunes (not yet available for resale) : "FREEDOM", "G.S.M.", "YESTERDAY", and "DONKEYBALLZ". The single "FREEDOM" has rapidly gained full rotation radio support at 107.3FM The FOX ROCKS, KEYJ, and several radio stations across the U.S. Cuts such as "Alienation", Fallen", "Indecision", and "Captured by the Water" have gained impressive requests at stations KNAC (Manhattan Beach, CA), WSUP (Platteville,WI), KIBZ (Lincoln, NE), KNDI (Honolulu, Hawaii), WYYX (Panama City Beach, FL) and ESPECIALLY on MUSIC CHOICE (New York, NY) on Direct TV and Dish Network Television. Currently, the band is being shopped for a major label recording deal on the U.S. East and West coasts. The band also recently tied relations with David Zychek & Dave Prader (Dream Theatre)to produce their latest AND GREATEST recording project entitled Psalms. The new album is due for public release in JUNE 2004.
