St. John’s jazzcore / mathcore / progressive punk outfit Killer 9000 have released a new single entitled “My Least Favourite Things”. This new track is a bit different from the band’s other material as it’s much more of an abrasive noise tune than the jazzy punk they’ve released thus far. This new song was recorded as part of the 2024 RPM Challenge and was released through Bandcamp on February 6th, 2024.
You can listen to “My Least Favourite Things” through our Bandcamp embed below.
