I
KILLED THE PROM QUEEN
Not content with their busy 2005 schedule, Adelaide's I
Killed The Prom Queen are taking 2006 by the throat and
don’t look like letting go in the near future. Simply
reaching their potential isn't a motivation for this band,
surpassing their own expectations and abilities are just
a taste of their intentions and existence.
Adelaide's
I Killed The Prom Queen unleashed a more powerful and dynamic
debut full length than has yet to be experienced by most.
"When Goodbye Means Forever", debuted in the Adelaide
charts at #1 where and remained in that position many weeks
after its release. The album also debuted in the AIR charts
at #12 before breaking through into the top 10 to #6, remaining
in the top 10 for over 6 weeks, a feat rarely achieved by
a metal/hardcore band. Easily satiating the IKTPQ followers,
this release serves to reaffirm IKTPQ's evolution, displaying
how much they've accomplished, the contribution they have
made to underground music in Australia and the sheer distance
they've evolved over the course of their existence.
Not
letting their location or personnel changes hinder their
progress, I Killed The Prom Queen hastily reinforced their
name at the forefront of the Australian hardcore and metal
scenes with consistent timely touring. They recently traveled
a myriad of kilometers throughout Australia with international
acts including Canada’s Silverstein, Sweden’s
The Haunted and USA metal act Exodus as well as playing
with the likes of Fear Factory, Soilwork and Alexisonfire.
Amongst countless supports, IKTPQ found time to wow Aussie
crowds when they headlined the Australia wide ‘Destroy
Music Tour’ over four long weeks before jumping on
the plane to snowy Sweden to record the follow up to When
Goodbye Means Forever. With festivals such as 2006 Come
Together fesetival(Luna Park) & Overcranked festival,
2005 big day out and 2004 Hellfest (New Jersey USA) as well
as several USA & UK tours under their belts, and with
not one of the members over the age of 23, it seems IKTPQ’s
reign over the Australian and worldwide Metal and Hardcore
scene is only just beginning!
Redefining
Australian metal/hardcore with an intense live show matched
by none and their unique mixture of hardcore and metal,
IKTPQ more than deliver an experience not yet seen within
Australia, or in the States for that matter. Their first
full length release from Hand of Hope/Resist Records will
force you to reconsider your perception of Australian underground
music and discover why IKTPQ will continue to break the
barriers and bring this underrated style of music to a broader
and more mainstream audience.
The
imminent release of their brutal new sophomore full length
(set for release in June 06) recorded in Sweden with famed
metal producer’s Fredrik Nordstrom and Patrik J. Sten
(In Flames, Soilwork, At the Gates) will see IKTPQ embark
on a two month cd release tour of capitol and regional Australia
followed by the boys jet-setting once again to unleash their
album on the USA, UK, Europe, Japan and New Zealand.
