Honeymoon Killers(2)

:(This page is about the American band. For the Belgian band of the same name, see Honeymoon Killers).
The Honeymoon Killers were an American noise rock band from New York City, formed in 1983. Their name is taken from the 1970 crime film The Honeymoon Killers. The Honeymoon Killers' sound is deeply rooted in the blues earning them comparisons to The Cramps. The nucleus of the band was Jerry Teel and Lisa Wells, with Sally Edroso serving as the longest standing drummer between 1985 and 1990. The group's rotating line-ups would consist of members belonging to like-minded bands such as Pussy Galore, Boss Hog, Ritual Tension and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Their first three albums were independent releases issued by the band's label Fur Records. The group disbanded in 1994, with its leader Jerry Teel forming The Chrome Cranks with drummer Bob Bert and guitarist William Gilmore Weber.
== Links to Peel ==
Peel was a fan of noise rock blues, which bands like The Cramps were part of. His enthusiasm for the music included groups like the Honeymoon Killers, who he often play on his shows. Despite plenty of airplay, the group never did a session for his show, perhaps because they couldn't fit it in their schedule. Interestingly an unrelated band of the same name did a session for Peel in 1982.
