What the "Press" has to say:

THE NOISE, Issue #268 2/1/07
MUCK & THE MIRES, RED INVASION, THE KILLER ABS
T.T. The Bear’s, Cambridge MA 12/30/06
"This is something like the third time I’ve seen Killer Abs, and I realize how easy it would be to dismiss them as a minor amusement—a ladies-only punk rock cover band. But here’s the thing: they perform with more genuine soul and love for the art style than many bands playing originals. They deserve some sort of spiritual credit for their good work. They deserve some sort of credit for their version of “Love Love Love” which is surely a thing of beauty. It would be aesthetic heaven to see Killer Abs playing a hotel bar, Holiday Inn, or bowling alley! Please, Lord—let me experience that one before I die!"

The Noise, Issue #258 February 2006
COFFIN LIDS, ANDREA GILLIS BAND, PRIME MOVERS, KILLER ABS
Abbey Lounge, Somerville, MA

"The much ballyhooed (in some quarters) Killer Abs start us off with an all-girl punk/ garage set—mostly covers, from what I’m hearing. Making especially good work of “California Sun” and an old Johnnies number (“You Don’t Know Me,” which requires minor gender rewriting). I swear I recognize half of these ladies from other bands, but everyone I ask says they’re unique to this one. I’ve only begun to drink, so I can’t explain it… "

Eric Law's 2005 Live Show Year In Review
“2005 also was the year the Killer Abs made their debut. I quickly became a fan. What's not to like? Five pretty women, bashing out your punk rock favorites like it was 1976. They obviously are having so much fun, and their smiles and laughter are infectious.”
