Killdozer: Let the Midwest Get Some...
With a name snatch either from a 1940’s sci-fi novel or its attendant 1970s’ remake, Wisconsin’s Killdozer were clearly a weird band. But before getting into the ensemble’s first album, it’s worth noting that the eighties were a time when towns outside major media markets began to spring bands who’d eventually receive national attention. What the reason for this sort of democratization was can only be guessed at, but it probably had at least a little to do with Black Flag and Sonic Youth records becoming more readily available. Of course, available’s only relative.
