Kill Hannah
After a long hiatus, Kill Hannah returns with their new album, Wake Up the Sleepers. And it doesn’t disappoint. Mat Devine’s voice never ceases to amaze me. Very raw & real (& he sounds just as good live as on the album). The album maintains the band’s signature alternative rock sound & also takes the band in a new direction with the addition of a few electronic beats in “Tokyo” & the already released single “New York City Speed”. These tracks rock because they don’t lose touch of the bands signature sound, but merely give it a more refined & contemporary feel to compete with other stuff being released recently. Awesome. For the die hard Kill Hannah fans, check out the tracks “Acid Rain” & “Radio”. They definitely don’t disappoint (“Radio” samples sounds from Kids in America, but trust us, it works). Rounding out the album with a more slow & acoustic feel, we fell in love with “Snowblinded” & “Living in Misery”. The entire album was completely worth the long wait since the last album & is an amazing achievement for the band. Grab this album September 29th.
Welikeit.indie got to see these guys completely tear up the stage at Emo’s in Austin on 9/11. Amazing job guys. Seriously. You guys fucking rock!

Wake Up The Sleepers was released on 09/29/09 and the proudest album of Kill Hannah’s career. Going back to the way things were when they were doing it themselves,m producing the album themselves and promoting the band after shows themselves, they return to that mentality and give fans what they are really looking for when it comes to their music and what to expect. The title, “Wake Up The Sleepers” is a call to the music industry as is is today, where people are caring less and only looking at the business side and forgetting what its all about; the music. This album is a fantastic mix of dance songs with heavier undertones and darker themes. The lyrics are more in depth and personal and Mat Devine’s vocals are on point all the way. This album is completely worth every penny. You may purchase the album at Killhannah.com, iTunes, and amazon.com.
