2007 WAM Rock Song of the Year winners Kill Teen Angst will launch their long-awaited debut self-titled EP on Saturday 16th February at Amplifier, proudly presented by Rockus.com.au in conjunction with the 2008 WAMi Festival.

As seasoned veterans of the Perth indie scene, the band formerly known as Ten Speed Racer carved their own niche through a love of Mogwai’s dramatic, noise-fuelled intensity and Archers Of Loaf’s raw pop sensibilities. But it was through a change in members and name in early 2006 when the influences truly began to thrive, and Kill Teen Angst was able to unleash a rejuvenated, confronting sound on an unsuspecting world.

In the transition since Ten Speed Racer and Kill Teen Angst, the band has risen exponentially through the ranks of the Perth music scene. In the past year alone, they have supported the likes of Shooting At Unarmed Men, Cut Off Your Hands, British India, Deloris, Witch Hats, Die! Die! Die! and Kisschasy. Previously to that, they’ve shared the stage with Mclusky, Gyroscope and Gerling. And to top off what has already been a most successful year, the band won the 2007 WAM Rock Song of the Year for ‘The World Or Nothing’, the lead track from their debut EP, which has already enjoyed triple j and community radio airplay nationwide.
