Angry Johnny and the Killbillies, known for their unique blend of murder balladry, roots music, and dark Americana, hail from the enigmatic depths of the New England music scene. Birthed from the mind of the enigmatic frontman, songwriter, and artist Angry Johnny in the early 1990s, the band quickly carved out a niche for themselves with their distinct storytelling style, incorporating elements of country, punk, blues, and folk into their sound. Their lyrical content often revolves around themes of love, death, revenge, and the supernatural, crafting narratives that feel like blood-stained pages torn from a backwoods diary of the damned.

Throughout the years, Angry Johnny and the Killbillies have sustained a cult following, fuelled by their haunting melodies and the raw, gripping tales spun by Angry Johnny's weathered voice. Their discography, particularly the "Killville Auto Salvage" series, showcases the ongoing evolution of their gritty, narrative-driven sagas that summon the ghosts of America's rural past. Albums like "Killville Tales" and songs such as "The Hanging of Hattie Ledoux" and "I Hear the Devil Laughing" exemplify their ability to fuse bone-chilling stories with a potent musical atmosphere, ensuring that Angry Johnny and the Killbillies remain an indelible part of the tapestry of underground Americana music.
