Kill The Lights — Fog Area

in
By Brian Pascual (CHARTattack) September 9, 2009 3:48 pm
Kill The Lights thankfully return with the very confident Fog Area after moving from Montreal to Toronto, releasing an unjustly ignored album (2007's Buffalo Of Love), losing band members, enduring a near break-up and finally moving back to Montreal. Kill The Lights have moved away from the trendy dance punk of Buffalo and darkened their edges...

Kill The Lights — Buffalo Of Love

in
By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) March 20, 2007 7:49 pm
There's something oddly familiar about the sounds put forth by Montreal's Kill The Lights. Closely approximating the music played and produced by fellow Canuck rockers The Diableros, The Dears and Pilot Speed, KTL use a vaguely British sensibility mixed with longing vocals to create decent but not entirely original music. On Buffalo Of Love, you...

Kill The Lights @ CMW 2007

By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) March 10, 2007 2:00 pm
Background/Composition: 4 guys up front and one girl on the drums, this Montreal 5 piece exact a precision honed take on guitar driven angular indie rock. Grade: 76 Comment: Kill The Lights have the chops to play some seriously incindiary guitar driven tracks and they've got the smarts to crib from some great bands, though in the end,...

Guitar Hero 6 will feature music from Black Sabbath, Metallica and Queen. But you won't be able to play as Paul Stanley, Tony Iommi or Kirk Hammett, since playable characters are getting the boot this time around.

Fog Clears On New Sound For Kill The Lights

in
By Brian Pascual (CHARTattack) September 3, 2009 4:33 pm
You could say Kill The Lights have had a long four years. Since 2005, when the band first started making noise in their native Montreal and (then) new home base of Toronto, they've endured record label woes, lineup changes, band drama, a near give-up-and-break-up and finally, a sonic shift. "The same core is still there — Yann (Geoffroy,...

Breakout 2007: Kill The Lights

By Caitlin Hotchkiss (CHARTattack) July 2, 2009 1:04 pm
Hometown: Toronto, Ontario Official Site: www.killthelights.ca Sound: You know that post-rock, melodic-guitars-and-aching-vocals style that was seemingly bred somewhere in England and for which hipster critics like to describe with adjectives like "angular" and "frantic?" That. Why? When presented with the very MuchMusic-...

Kill The Lights Travel West, And Travel Lighter

By Dan MacRae (CHARTattack) February 20, 2008 5:00 pm
Alex Hackett is risking his neck to bring you rock music, and he knows it. He and his fellow post-punk firebrands in Kill The Lights are travelling through the frostbitten reaches of the Canadian west in the middle of a miserable winter across our nation's highways to bring their jagged music to the people. "The only other time we toured...

With all the debate about local scenes that's been raging over the last few years — though mostly between bored hipsters online — it's pretty hard to avoid the concept of "buzz cities" for hot new Canadian bands. But Toronto indie rock quintet Kill The Lights serve as a good example of melting-pot band geography. "Geographical...
