Killdren are what happens when a DIY folk-punk firebrand and a free party veteran decide they've had enough — and make an absolute racket about it.
Formed in 2017, the South Wales duo of Efa Supertramp and Nick Ronin have carved out their own gloriously unhinged corner of the music world: two-bit rave-punk. Think hard-hitting, vitriolic punk energy colliding with bassy, euphoric rave — spikey enough to get a pit going, bouncy enough to get a rave kicking off, and politically charged enough to get themselves banned from Glastonbury. That ban — sparked by the notorious Kill Tory Scum (Before They Kill You) music video — ignited a censorship debate across the UK press and made Killdren briefly, gloriously infamous.
Since then they've been tearing through festivals, clubs, grassroots venues, teknivals and dingy squat parties at home and abroad, and in 2023 completed their fourth album 'The Illuminaughty'. Killdren prove that rave music and punk music were always fighting the same fight. They just turned the bass up.

birthed a twisted sonic chimera...„ - Freedom News
