Young and talented, with only one way to go... UP " Paul @ Flip9 Promotions (www.Flip9.co.uk) "Down to earth and hard rocking don't seem to be two phrases that mix, but with SiMpLeKiLL, it is a completely different story. SiMpLeKiLL has found the fine line between darkness and beauty. One listen to the enormous power and sound that these guys bring upon their music will leave you breathless; waiting and wanting more of what's to come. This is SiMpLeKiLL. They deserve to be heard." Nicky @ Nillo Promotions (www.Nillopromotins.cjb.net) "Essentially, the most unreal performance of complete onslaught and terror to be given life from the south Florida music scene." Skweels @ Floridaunderground.net "Having Seen Simplekill play live various times i must say SiMpLeKiLL delivers one hell of a show every time, they never let down. They're a Raw, young, talented band with one of the most original sounds that I've ever heard. Bitches and boys If you like it hard, heavy, and melodic I STRONGLY Suggest giving Simplekill a listen, and be nice to your neighbors Blast that shit up loud." Jose @ Digital Noise Network (www.digital-noise.net) "Simplekill manages to easily showcase their talents & potential, and, given the time to fully explore their ideas and coalesce into a cohesive unit, Simplekill should have no problem as becoming the next prominent metal act to emerge from the Florida music scene..." Robert Thompson @ Dynamick Rock (www.dynamickrock.com) "Simplekill is one the better known bands in South Florida. Known for their heavy hitting sound and their bumptious attitude, Simplekill is slowly acquiring a thickening disparate fan base. Their heavy metal sound has a lot of hauteur and power. If you like Sepultura and Nothingface then walk yourself over to some real music like Simplekill. " Simplyjam staff (www.simplyjam.com)
