Kill Your Boyfriend is a two-piece band formed in 2011 in Venice (Italy): Matteo Scarpa on guitar/vocals and Antonio Angeli on drums. The band?s sound could be defined as an extremely loud and dark psych / post-punk / shoegaze / Industrial mix, taking inspiration from bands like Suicide, Jesus and Mary Chains, Joy Division. The band name ?Kill Your Boyfriend? is taken from a graphic novel created by Grant Morrison and Philip Bond published by Vertigo (DC Comics)
In September 2011 they self-produced their 6 songs EP and started playing live in clubs and festivals around, but it was with their first album ?S / T? released by Shyrec (IT) in 2013 that the band started to be recognized and played over 80 shows in Europe (especially in Germany).
2015 was the year of the 10? split with New Candys and their second album ?The King is Dead?(Shyrec). In the same year the band toured opening also for bands like The KVB and Zola Jesus.
From 2016 to 2018 Kill Your Boyfriend performed extensively throughout Europe and in Russia. Meanwhile the band released their second EP ?Ghosts? (2016 ? Shyrec) and a 7?, ?Ulrich?(2017) with the Russian label Other Voices.
At the end of 2019 the British label Depths Records released their single ?Elizabeth? which includes a remix of the same song made by Preoccupation guitarist Danny Christiansen and the band performed in UK. IN 2021 they toured sharing the stage with The Underground Youth and M!R!M.
Their last album ?Killadelica? was released on November 6, 2020 by the labels Sister9 Recordings (UK), Little Cloud Records (US) and Shryec (ITA). The new album "Voodoo" is due to be out in 2022, October the 7th for the same labels.
