Kilslug

Boston, MA area dirge punk band originally active from 1982 to 1987/88 with several different line-ups.

Larry "Lifeless" Coyle and Jay “Big Daddy” Snow had been playing together in the ground-breaking late ‘70s punk band The Sickness. Jay had to leave for some time, so that left Larry in search of new bandmates. He started Kilslug along with Rico Petroleum on guitar, and Ty Avolio on drums, with Snow soon joining in on bass. The band was active for a few years, and released 3 EP's, plus the album "Answer the Call" (with Snow on drums).

The group reformed in 2007, returning with a live album. The line-up soon stabilized to Larry Lifeless (vocals), Big Daddy (drums), John Kozik (bass), John Darga (guitar), and Paulie Kraynak (guitar). They released the album "Sins, Tricks & Lies" in 2012, and were active up until 2019, right before the pandemic hit.

Vocalist Larry Lifeless passed away on September 18, 2021.
