About The Little Killers

The Little Killers are an American rock and roll band. The band formed in New York City, New York, U.S. in 2001, playing punky garage rock inspired by the likes of Chuck Berry, the New York Dolls, and Johnny Burnette's Rock & Roll Trio. Led by vocalist and guitarist Andy Maltz, the band also features the rhythm sections of Sara Nelson (bass and backing vocals) and Kari Boden (drums and backing vocals). They debuted live in 2002. After signing to Crypt Records, The Little Killers released their self-titled début album in September 2003. It became a hit in garage punk circles, although it didn't make the band as big as label-mates such as Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. They also released two non-album singles, "Better Be Right" (2003) and "You Got It Right" (2004). In 2006, they released their second album, A Real Good One, on the Gern Blandsten Records label.
