IFor best experience Get the App
Back in print! Killdozer, natives of Madison, Wisconsin, began an epic thirteen-year career in the early eighties. They started out as a harsh underground trio that combined elements of primitive country blues with distorted Birthday Party style antics. By 1991, they had evolved into a slower more experimental style of musical drudgery, still always keeping with their wrong side of town meets Communist Manifesto lyrics.

Them boys ain't right.
Not sure what people in Minnesota and Wisconsin do, but I love the music, it's bizarre in all the right ways.

Coffee likes me?
You might not believe that this record and uncompromising war on art... album's were played on the radio back in the 90's KPFK Los angles at the time i thought it was not shocking now nearly 20 years now the shock is setting in WOW what were they thinking please spin these again in between tailor swift and 21 idiots.

Good for What Ails You
Think you've heard it all? Grown jaded at cheap shock-rock? Well, bubba, this one's for you, if you can find a copy. Just put on Killdozer's dread masterpiece "The Rub" from "Little Baby Buntin'" (the vastly superior half of this two-album cd). I don't know what I love more about it--the biting irony or the "I LIKE COFFEE" coda at the end. I've recently tracked down a copy of this disc (to replace one I lost), and it's a sweet balm to my soul.Make no mistake, no ifs, ands, or buts, this ain't easy listening. (Many of Killdozer's songs, however, despite their violently loud presentation, are surprisingly sweet-natured.) It's not music your spouse is going to let you play inside when they're around. But it's good stuff. Great stuff, in fact. "12 Point Buck," the first half, is a good album, with songs about disaster movies, customer service, and Flannery O'Connor. "Little Baby Buntin'" is a great album, and the pinnacle of Killdozer's output. "The Rub" is a breathtaking epic, "The Ballad of My Old Man" is a tender expression of filial devotion, "Cyst" is an oddly sympathetic look at an alien parasite, and, as another reviewer has pointed out, the cover of "I Am, I Said" does, in fact, highlight the existential beauty of the lyrics. If you're tired of wimps and poseurs, these are your boys.

I Am (High), I Said
12 Point Buck and Little Baby Buntin on 1 CD! What more do you want? Remastering these CD's is long overdue and will probably never happen. These are the best things that Butch Vig ever worked on. Actually, he was lucky to capture Killdozer at such a creative peak.It's a mystery to me that more people haven't re-discovered how great these records are. People will drooool all over some mediocre Melvins tape and not pay any attention to Killdozer at all. Their loss. On their deathbed when Jesus grants them a moment of clarity right before their sad final breath they will realize that their life was inferior for shunning Killdozer. Don't let that happen to you!!Check out Mighty High...In Drug City.

Makes my soul hurt.
Killdozer have always provided a humorous counterpoint to the usual pack of self-absorbed whiny punk rockers; this is the shiz, distilled to its essence. The lyrics may make you smile, but don't think that makes this "light" music - these guys lay down some sloppy, punishing, heavy, slithering rawk with the best sense of humor in the music biz. Genius. If lines like this don't make you smile, then you're dead to the world:"I worked like a mule down in the pitsfor seven long days and seven lonely nights.That makes one week exactly for those of youwho lack the skills to add things up right."Buy this and play it loud.

Soundtrack to redneck heaven
Boy, does this ever bring back memories. What a glorious riot of lowbrow insanity these two immortal records are. Little Baby Buntin' in particular is pure redneck heaven - knuckle-draggin, Nascar-lovin', Colt .45 swillin' - the whole rooty toot. Or is Michael Gerald just having a good old chuckle with tongue in cheek all the while? Who knows. Without a doubt though these dudes occupied a musical space all of their very own, glorying in the truly bizzare. Perhaps only Butthole Surfers got close to Killdozer's obsession with the flotsam and jetsam of the great human soupbowl. The music is glorious throughout, grinding guitars and pounding drums behind Gerald's unique vocal delivery. Ah, the good ol' late 80s. Brings a tear to the eye, it does...

Always makes me happy
No matter what my mood (and I'm a depressive), Killdozer makes me smile, laugh and feel like there's hope. No other group has ever done this. A funny idea, I guess, for a punk band, especially for an old fart like me, but their outlook on life and their snide humor makes getting through the day a whole lot easier. I've been totally blasted at a couple of their concerts and enjoyed every minute.

Geile Scheibe!!!
