Release

Kill for Company release 'Bag of Doubts' on May 30th!!

Kill for Company are two Manchester musicians, Michael Banfield plays a unique self-manufactured hybrid guitar/bass and Mark O`Donoughue drums and percussion. The band’s sound came with Michael’s big idea, something he had toyed with since doing a guitar tech course in Manchester. Michael created the 'Guibass' in essence a lead guitar with two bass strings at the low end, re-jig the pickups, adjust the strings and then split the signal through a bass and lead amp. Much easier said than done, despite all advice to the contrary the 'Guibass' was born. Once pedals and adjustment to his playing technique were added the results were formidable, They surprisingly found you could get a really full sound in the studio and at live showcases. Mark and Michael quickly discovered that the instrument gave Kill for Company massive freedom to experiment, the recordings could be done live in rehearsal rooms on Michael’s mobile studio and production done back at home.

The first EP 'Money Now' quickly Sold Out!!! and brought the duo to the attention of Amazing Radio, Salford City Radio, Manchester Radio Online, 4Q Magazine, Rainy Skies Magazine and Michelle Hussey at BBC Introducing. After a Sell Out!!! show for their second EP 'Alternative to Living' at The Deaf Institute in Manchester, a clothing endorsement with FLY53, signing to Longevity Records and 'Black and White' being hand picked by Tom Robinson to be on his BBC Introducing mixtape.National airplay on BBC 6 Music and some great festivals like LakeFest followed.

With 2014 starting off with a special BBC Introducing gig at the Ruby Lounge and BBC 6 Music play off Steve Lamacq, Kill for Company now have their third EP 'Bag of Doubts' set for release on the 30th May 2014 with the Launch Gig at MRO Black Room on the same night.
