Kill Hannah - For Never & Ever

OK. Reviews are really about the music and not about the image (I would think), but I couldn’t help but notice some things about Kill Hannah. Things they want us to notice. First of all, the “K” in “Kill” is backwards. That must mean they are badass. Second of all, they spent a lot of time perfecting their chunky highlights, thick eyeliner and general sexually androgynous look. I was expecting gothic Cure-esque grandiose stuff. What we get instead is some second-rate production that never quite gets to a satisfying musical level. I would classify this as rock with some electronic elements, drum machines, and keyboards - what all the kids are using in their music these days. They range from the sublimely echoey vocals, to the tongue-in-cheek pop references (“I Wanna Be A Kennedy”). Although, they do understand the basic elements of verse-chorus-verse and some tend to be surprisingly melodic; it's reminiscent of something someone made in their basement on a Casio keyboard, and then some producer jazzed it up. Except the fact of the matter is that it needs to be more developed before it's released to a wide audience. My advice: you’re not missing anything special. [www.killhannah.com]
