Real Serial Killers

3 years ago when Hammer Records started, we attended a lot of shows. Seriously, a lot of shows. We saw so many bands and lots of bands with potential. One of the bands I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with was Kill Matilda. Rose and I attended some killer shows and a Kill Matilda show was always bound to be a good one! I had a quick chat with Mykel Exner, bassist for Kill Matilda, about how Vancouver has affected the bands career. Check it out!

James: How has Vancouver helped your bands career?
Mykel: Vancouver educated us enough to know that if we wanted to play for real, we needed to get the fuck out of there.

James: Which is your favourite venue to play in Vancouver and why?
Mykel: My favourite venue was Pub340. We killed it there in the early days before the rich started to fuck the culture up.

James: Where do you plan on going? Staying? Moving?
Mykel: Right now we are on a six month US tour. Im in Virginia Beach and play tomorrow in Charlotte NC. I will never sit still because whenever I go to a new place I make people happy and they are glad to see me.

James: What has been one of your favourite Vancouver stories?
Mykel: Favourite Vancouver story... winning the attention and affection of GGGarth Richardson and having him produce my band. As i was tracking bass he couldn't believe the energy I put into my performance, so much so that the 2nd session he asked me to record/perform for the people who were coming around to a nimbus open house. He was showing me and my energy off to potential new students to his school. It was pretty special.

James: Whats in the works with the band?
Mykel: We tour the rest of this year. You can see the dates add up at www.killmatilda.com/tour . We  have the GGGarth record to release and once we have some videos ready to go we will do that. We are aiming to get on warped tour and talking with some bands about going to Europe in 2015.

Below is an old video we shot of them performing at the Railway Club.

Take It Down

This is a new track produced by Hammer Records. The Beat was created by Hammer Records and we got some vocalists from the states sing on the track. Then we mixed and mastered in at Hammer Studios! Take a listen and give it some love! Thanks!

James Does Some Singing?

Love Song by The Cure is one of my favourite songs. I've heard it in so many different ways and by so many different artists but its still an amazing song. I decided to swing my bat at it and sing a cover. Take a listen and share if you have a chance!

You Calling My Mother A What?

Knowing these guys while they were in Audio school I always knew they were talented, and a little bit crazy.When they teamed up with Allen and formed My Mother The Carjacker, something new was born and it was growing into this monster beast that will consume the world. Check out their newly released music video "Robots Are People Too". This sums these guys up in just one video. Epic, out of the box and just plain nuts! Ian "Duke" Nolan really brought this video to life!

These guys take thing to the next level and stand out in the mass of Vancouver bands. Check them out HERE.
