American Radio Two

This band really knows how to tell a great story within the confines of a 4 minute song. My favorites are First Born about stealing the DNA from superstar celebrities to create your own children who will be "instantly, internationally famous"! What I Hate About Punks is an awesome rant about the annoying lazy dirtbag punks begging for beer money. The girls really wail on Can You Feel it, which talks about being the first female quartback in the NFL! Too funny. This record goes from hard rock, to punk, Pop, and even a little highlife. This is a really diverse album, I can't wait to hear more from this band.

Recklessly driving forward in a controlled train collision, American Radio Two defies the pigeonhole and enjoys your confusion while dancing to nihilistic love songs between your ears. A smart and seasoned musician, Killian allows his multi-talented "backup band" to step to the fore and rip your face off in breathless exuberance on many of the tracks, in particular What I Hate About Punks, a hot little number that'll make you melt and cry because these babes see right through you, and aren't interested. A complex wall of sound, The Gun & Doll Show weaves massed layers of guitars and vocals to create a living thing, an organic creature of beatific noise that smiles a black tooth grin and juts out a hip in your direction, daring you to ignore the invitation. I once remarked that if The Tubes had taken Garbage behind a middle-school and gotten it pregnant, the lyrical spawn would be the Gun & Doll Show.. And if that doesn't mean anything to you, so what? Each of us has an interpretation :-)
