Biography
What did you do the first time a teen crush broke your heart? Mat Devine formed a band, bent on romantic revenge, and named it KILL HANNAH. Years later, the hurt is gone, but the name and now famous ‘sniper heart’ logo have become a permanent part of modern alt-rock iconography.
Starting in the late 90′s with a dream to become “an edgier, American version of The Cure”, frontman Devine led his band through years of “paying dues the hard way”, before finally conquering their hometown of Chicago, and going on to navigate a treacherous industry through a relentless worldwide touring schedule, two major label releases, and more than a few VH1 Behind the Music moments. Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) once stated, “KILL HANNAH is the future of Chicago Rock”.
KILL HANNAH’s live show (complete with trademark laser-lit instruments) is yet another element that never fails to connect with audiences worldwide. The band has been on a rigorous touring schedule since the early part of the decade, forming alliances with bands like 30 Seconds to Mars, My Chemical Romance, Jet, Chevelle, Papa Roach, AFI, Shiny Toy Guns, H.I.M. , and She Wants Revenge, along with numerous late-night television talk show and radio festival appearances, including the infamous Download Festival in Europe. Their international appeal only solidifies their status as true visionaries, despite the current trends, a fact which earned KILL HANNAH a nomination for “Best International Newcomer” at the 2008 Kerrang! Awards.
