Spawned in downtown New York City, Killa Beatz is a band that defies definition. Some call it alternative, some hard rock. No matter what moniker is used, the simple riffs and twisted rhythms of the KBz blended tunes are guaranteed to have even the heaviest heavy metal heads and most hardcore hip hop heads nodding along. The dynamic grouping of Pete Brag, Sound Cartagena, and The Professor was formed and nourished inside the pressure cooker that is Lower Manhattan. The group draws inspiration from the graffiti tagged brick, gritty urban style, and innate hip hop sensibilities unique to their home city, to produce a truly New York sound that transcends boundaries. To hear KBz is to know what it’s like to walk the streets of the LES, to mourn the death of CBGBs, and to scrap it out for your place in the rock pantheon. The matchless urgency of New York’s rock scene is reflected in their music, insane shows, and DIY promotions; it inspired them to make their own soundtrack to the future starting with the ten song album "Stay Strong" in 2006 and THEN embark...yes, EMBARK, like on a flaming ship headed for Hell's shores, on a ramping romp through rock n roll, 21st Century AD Style, called Crack Rock Vol. 1, the world's first Rock mix tape...COMING IN EARLY 2009! Let's get it on!
