Killdozer are a great underrated band
and they are history. Their mix of slowed down, distorted noise rock and
growling vocals are legendary and as far as I know no other band tried to
emulate that. Out of fear, I guess. Their own songs were great, stories about
the NRA, abusive relationships, quick order fry cooks, heroic dogs of the soviet
union, whatever. Nevertheless, everybody seemed to mostly remark upon their
cover versions, so here I try to get a list together of those that I know or got
knowledge of.

Overkill (another great band on T&G!) they had "Evil Womyn" on the
Mondostereo-compilation.
