**The Killer Barbies** were a raucous Spanish punk rock band that burst onto the scene in the mid-'90s with a delightfully campy blend of horror aesthetics, high-energy riffs, and tongue-in-cheek attitude. Fronted by the charismatic Milagros "Mila" J. (a multi-hyphenate force who also acted and directed films), the group leaned into B-movie vibes and playful rebellion, earning a cult following with albums like *…Are You Hungry?* and rowdy anthems like “Voy a ser millonaria” and “FreakShow (The Bonus).” Their sound mashed punk rock with surfy garage energy, often laced with horror-punk theatrics—imagine The Ramones crashing a Day of the Dead party.
Beyond the music, The Killer Barbies’ legacy ties to Mila’s 1996 horror-comedy film *The Killer Barbys* (yes, spelled differently), which the band soundtracked. They toured internationally, even sharing stages with punk legends like Dee Dee Ramone, and kept their DIY spirit alive with cheeky lyrics and a “bad taste” aesthetic that never took itself too seriously. Though their activity slowed in the 2000s, their trashy-cool anthems remain a fun, fist-pumping time capsule of ’90s punk mischief.
