Joe Cool & The Killers

 Home | Punk Bands | Joe Cool & The Killers  

Lets face it, its a cheesy name for a band and god knows how they ended up on major label Ariola  who were more famed for disco style bands.  In the punk gold rush of 1977 someone must have thought it a clever idea or an idea for a tax loss !!!! 'I Just Don't Care' (Ariola 1977) is palatable Eddie & The Hot Rods style uptempo rock but that's about it. An album - Killer - was trumpeted in music papers in 1978 as an '...album that will destroy you m***** f*****' by which time they were known as The Killers. However it, along with the band, sank without a trace and without a tear in anyone's eye in the latter part of 1978 as their guitarist, Tony Mayberry, departed for the Depressions, another sinking ship.
