KILLINGER To Support VOLBEAT, HELLYEAH In July
May 29, 2012, 12 years ago
Canadian rockers KILLINGER have just been tapped as support for VOLBEAT and HELLYEAH, on their upcoming tour in the United States in July. Prior to the commencement of these dates, Killinger will be featured at the 8th Annual Boonstock Music & Arts Festival in Gibbons, Alberta, Canada on June 30th alongside such heavyweights as KORN, PUDDLE OF MUDD and Volbeat. See below for tour dates.
Killinger was just honored last month in their hometown with the 2012 Edmonton Music People's Choice Award. The band's self-titled full-length debut was released last year in North America via Sunmor Entertainment, distributed by BDG. BDG is distributed by RED Distribution, LLC (a division of Sony Music Entertainment). The album features a contemporary rock sound which incorporates the best elements of 80s hard rock and metal. Produced by Rick Plester (MICHAEL SCHENKER, GEORGE LYNCH) and mixed by Mike Fraser (AEROSMITH, AC/DC, METALLICA), Killinger contains catchy melodies, big guitar riffs and a guest appearance by guitar great George Lynch.
With an over-the-top live show, the band has already established a solid fanbase in Western Canada, touring with the likes of LYNCH MOB and STRYPER.
