I Killed The Prom Queen
Biography
Vocalist Michael Crafter (also of Carpathian), guitarists Jona Weinhofen and Kevon Cameron, bassist Sean Kennedy, and drummer JJ formed the ingeniously named I Killed the Prom Queen in Adelaide, Australia, in 2003. Their Choose to Live or Die EP followed shortly afterward, and 2004 saw the release of their debut long-player, When Goodbye Means Forever, which featured an emotive and melodic amalgam of hardcore and heavy metal made popular by American bands such as Killswitch Engage and Shadows Fall. Their follow-up, Music for the Recently Deceased, hit stores at home in July 2006, and after the guys inked a deal with Metal Blade Records, the label issued the record in North America that November. Early the next year, Crafter jumped ship to become the new vocalist for Boston-based Bury Your Dead, as the band also lost Weinhofen to California's Bleeding Through. Unable to find suitable replacements, I Killed the Prom Queen called it quits in 2007 following a final tour of Australia. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
Selected Discography
Crafter had a brief stint with Carpathian ( a way better band), this bio needs to get it right.

Dudes. It's metalcore. End of conversation .
*and metalcore is the s**t |
||
who cares if they are hardcore or any thing they are awsome and theres no reason to label them its music that is awsome and amazing i thot that metal was suppose 2 be a escpe from being labeled and here u guys are labeling them just shut up and listen!
|
||
these guys are metalcore, they're like a cross between aild and parkway drive which are both metalcore bands.
|
||
I'd call them mostly hardcore (which already has a lot of screaming) and still some screamo thrown in, and a bit of metal, too.
|
||
i don't like how Ed Rivadavia failed to mention Ed butcher who is most likely their most popular vocalist, above Crafter even. Not just my personal opinion but many others as well, come on Ed R. get it together
|
||
Ok for people who want them to get back together i dought they will becuase Bury Your Dead and Bleeding Through are very good bands and i dont think they will leave there bands becuase they are both doing good!!! but who knows
i would love for them to get back together |
||
It's so weird that these guys aren't mentioned in some of those articles listing 'The weirdist band names ever.'
-- Oh yea, they're good, too. |
||
this needs an update, jonah still part-times wit IKTPQ, they got back together after touring for a year in Oz with Crafter who came back temporarily, and they now have a new vocalist. They have yet to record a new album with said vocalist. the article also had nothing to say about ed butcher who was their vocalist for the "Music For The Recently Deceased" album, and toured to promote it.

Because, long, stupid names that have both a subject and a predicate are what's "in" now.
Personally, this kinda stuff is too generic for me. Most "core" bands are. |
||
Cool band. Its a shame about the name, and the hair. I'm sick and tired of these bands choosing these ridiculous names like: "Tommorows Scary Ashes Killed the Sorrowful Cowboy Job in Fresh Autumn". Whatever happended to picking something simple, designing a cool logo, and touring the world killing audiences?
|
||
interesting. . . . i like the screams, i like the instruments, but i dont think the clean vocals are that good, but who am i to be picky? :) not bad
|
||
they deff need to get back together, there going on one last tour though.
