After forming in 2001, Adelaide's I Killed the Prom Queen have rapidly gained a reputation for being one of the most intense bands in Australian hardcore. The onstage onslaught that has earned them this status has seen them secure a list of supports harder to forget than their name, including bands from the US, Japan, New Zealand and Australia's metal and hardcore heavy-weights. Already inciting a stir through frequent touring, I Killed the Prom Queen wasted no time in releasing their debut EP "Choose to Love, Live or Die" on hardcore/punk label, 618 Recordings. Fusing elements of rock, metal and hardcore, they knock you to the floor with a 4-track-musical-offensive. Before you know it, they're picking you up again with emotive, vocal and guitar-driven melody, just to knock you right back down. Since the release of the EP, each show has somehow managed to top the previous one, reaping the rewards of a well-received CD. With a recently consolidated line up, I Killed the Prom Queen are focused on the future, collating new material for their return to the studio in early 2003. If their achievements so far are anything to go on, it promises to be one to watch out for.
