Killdozer was an American rock band formed in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1983 with members Bill Hobson, Dan Hobson and Michael Gerald. They took their name from the 1974 TV movie, directed by Jerry London, itself based on a Theodore Sturgeon short story. They released their first album, Intellectuals are the Shoeshine Boys of the Ruling Elite, in the same year. The band split in 1990 but reformed in 1993, losing guitarist Bill Hobson and gaining Paul Zagoras, and continued until they split up in 1996. Their farewell tour was officially titled "Fuck You, We Quit!", and included Erik Tunison of Die Kreuzen in place of Dan Hobson on drums and Jeff Ditzenberger on additional guitar.

Their farewell tour was officially titled "Fuck You, We Quit!", and included Erik Tunison of Die Kreuzen in place of Dan Hobson on drums and Jeff Ditzenberger on additional guitar. The band released nine albums, including a post-breakup live album, The Last Waltz. Killdozer was notable for its slow, grinding song structures and blackly humorous lyrics, growled ominously by singer/guitarist Michael Gerald at the top of his lungs. Many of their songs were disturbing narratives of small-town life gone awry, and later had a jaded, left-wing political perspective. Killdozer is regarded by many to have helped set the foundation for grunge music, despite that genre's association with the city of Seattle. The band also became famous for its cover songs, an example being Don McLean's "American Pie". A version exists on their 1989 all-covers album For Ladies Only. Gerald also did a cover of Jessi Colter's "I'm Not Lisa" for the band's 1986 EP Burl, dedicated "in loving memory of" the then-living Burl Ives. The EP in its entirety can be found on the CD version of their 1994 album Uncompromising War on Art Under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. (en)

  • Killdozer – amerykański zespół muzyczny, założony w 1983 w Madison przez Billa Hobsona, Dana Hobsona i Michaela Geralda, zaliczany do nurtu noise rock. Nazwę zaczerpnięto z telewizyjnego horroru, nakręconego w 1974 na podstawie Theodore'a Sturgeona. Zespół debiutował w 1983 albumem Intellectuals are the Shoeshine Boys of the Ruling Elite. Charakterystyczne ciężkie i "brudne" brzmienie Killdozera stało się inspiracją dla muzyków grunge. Teksty zespołu były zaangażowane politycznie i miały wybitnie lewicowy charakter. Na wydanym w 1988 cover-albumie For Ladies Only Killdozer zaprezentował awangardowe wersje przebojów popowych i rockowych (m.in. "Hush" Deep Purple, "American Pie" Dona McLeana). W 1990 zespół zawiesił działalność na 3 lata, następnie, po nagraniu kolejnych dwóch albumów, występował już tylko okazjonalnie (m.in. w 2006 na jubileuszu wytwórni Touch and Go). (pl)
  • Killdozer var ett noiserockband från Madison, Wisconsin i USA. Bandet bestod främst av medlemmarna Michael Gerald samt bröderna Bill och Dan Hobson och grundades 1983. Namnet tog de ifrån filmen Killdozer! från 1974, som i sin tur är baserad på Theodore Sturgeons kortroman från november 1944 med samma namn. De släppte fyra album under 1980-talet: Intellectuals Are the Shoeshine Boys of the Ruling Elite (1984), Snake Boy (1985), Little Baby Buntin' (1987) och Twelve Point Buck (1989), innan de splittrades 1990. Dock återförenades de tre år senare och släppte ytterligare två album: Uncompromising War on Art Under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat (1994) och God Hears Pleas of the Innocent (1995) innan de slutligen splittrades 1996. Deras sista turné tillsammans gick under namnet "Fuck You, We Quit!". (sv)
