Kill The Man Who Questions was a political hardcore band from Philadelphia, PA who were active from 1996-2003; when they played their final show. They toured the US and Europe extensively and released two 7"s, a split 7" with the Shoplifters, a spit 7" with Del Cielo, a 12" and a compilation CD of unreleased tracks, comp songs and all the 7" tracks. Members of the band played in many other hardcore bands including An Albatross and Limp Wrist.
Kill The Man Who Questions is one of the most angry, politically driven bands I have ever listened to. Their lyrics and the inserts that come with their records are seething with rage over gender politics, the injustices of capitalism and the beauty industry; and much much more. Vocalist Niki Long was an incredible front woman for the band, never losing her passionate energy even for a second as she wails over the instrumentals.
They're a band that doesn't feel phoney in any way, they have justified reasoning behind the anger of their songs. It's not just about looking tough like a few of hardcore bands I won't name; Kill The Man Who Questions is incredibly passionate about these political issues and shares it in an inspiring and informative manner.
I will be updating this post with scans of the 12" and booklet when I am able to.
