Hailing from the small town of Amory, Ms, Killjay has the daunting task of bringing hard rock music to a region that is dominated by country and gospel. Dark, heavy, melodic, and energized are just a few of the words that could be used to describe the music that has made the band a local and regional favorite. Though they have drawn influence from decades of musical styles, their form of pure, powerful and raw rock & roll has a style all of it’s own. From in your face, brooding rock, to heartfelt melodies, Killjay has something to offer every music listener.

The story of Killjay began in the summer of 2001 with a group of friends that had originally intended to get together and play music just for fun. After a short period of writing and playing together they began to gain a small fan base and starting playing live. After a year or so of playing house parties, field parties, and small clubs, they decided to start playing regionally at larger venues. Now with an even larger fan base Killjay has evolved into a band that thrives on writing and performing new and interesting music. Every time the band takes the stage their experience and originality sets a tone that is always sure to draw attention. The musical influences that build the foundation of their music consists of a wide variety of Rock-n-Roll that spans over several decades. They draw influence from classic rock bands such as Black Sabbath and Alice Cooper to modern day rock acts such as Bush and Staind. Killjay likes to cover music that the crowd can relate to, and also originals that reflect their own style of music. Their originals are constructed of heavy melodic rhythm, deep bass lines, hard hitting drum beats, creative leads, and mind expanding lyrics.

In May of 2004, Killjay went to Holly House recording studio and recorded their first full length album with producer Clyde Holly. Clyde is best known for his work with such bands as 3 Doors Down, 12 Stones, and Atomship. The album was released in June of 2004 and has already gained them local and regional radio airplay and endorsements.

In July of 2005, Killjay returned to Holly House and recorded the follow up to the Something More album. The Sound of the Deafeneing Silence will be in stores October 2005.
