Killola

From: Los Angeles, California

Active: 2004-present

I first heard them: on an Australian web series showcasing frock rock videos

Sound: theatrically performed indie rock with a scattering of dance/synth elements

Further listening: Here are the three Killola songs that have made the chart at various times:

"It's All Right" (2006)
"Strung Out on Sunshine" (2008)
"Personal Graveyard" (2008)

Further reading: Killola is one of the few bands I've seen live: I went to go see them play a Central Valley high school. Here's my writeup.
