CELEBRITY MURDERS - Time To Kill Space
Filthy and overcrowded to the point of insanity, New York City’s bleak political and social realities have always shaped the music, lyrics, and lives of the punk bands that inhabit it. CELEBRITY MURDERS are simply the latest to scream back. Formed in 2003 by guitarist Mike DeLorenzo (KILL YOUR IDOLS, C.R.) and vocalist Artie Philie (INDECISION, MILHOUSE), this band ignores the usual bu****it clichés and gimmicks in favor of music as sincere and passionate as it is violent and offensive. Easily identifiable influences to this end include the bone-grinding hardcore of legendary sh*t-disturbers such as INFEST, CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER, BORN AGAINST, SHEER TERROR, and of course BLACK FLAG.
Quickly selling out of nearly a thousand copies of their 2003 demo while playing shows with the likes of PAINT IT BLACK, DROP DEAD, SICK OF IT ALL, FU**ED UP, CAREER SU***DE, DAS OATH, SUBMISSION HOLD, FORWARD TO DEATH, and CRIME IN STEREO, the lineup of CELEBRITY MURDERS shuffled slightly last year to include Elway (C.R., MURDOCK) on drums, Sean McCann (MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD, THE DYING LIGHT) on bass, and Brian Van Meehan (KILL YOUR IDOLS, MILHOUSE) on second guitar. A collectors’ edition 7” EP sold out almost as quickly as it was released, and outstanding reviews began to surface in stalwart punk ‘zines like Maximum Rock n’ Roll and HeartattaCk.
