Killola
Killola Biography and stuff…
Let us introduce you to one of the most rabble-rousing rock bands to be found in Los Angeles. They’re called Killola, and they are captained by a woman with more presence than Santa Claus. I’ve heard the group compared to 70’s & 80’s rock sensations Blondie. This comparison comes based on the fact that the band is fronted up by Lisa Rieffel, who belts out lyrics in a manner similar in style to that of Debbie Harry, and she’s got the blonde locks to boot. But if you ask me, Killola does it with more intensity and a 21st century punk-rocker twist. We’ll call them Blondie on crack… and that’s a good thing.
The most wonderful thing about this group is that they do things on their own and with the help of some friends. They produced and released their debut album, Louder, Louder! on their own, without label support. The group also managed to travel abroad and book a tour in the United Kingdom all by themselves..
Basically, Killola is ahead of the curve. They are the forefront of where the music industry is going, and they are proving that success can be reached without reaching toward the deep pocket of a major record label. BTR was fortunate enough to chat with the lady of the hour and Killola guitarist Johnny D. They’ve got a new album on the horizon and many other projects in the works.
