Born out of the disintegration of littlebitter (a band of similar vision), these four best friends took up arms against the sonic blockade with an audacious brand of heavy rock. Serving as a stylistic melting pot, There's A Killer Among Us began writing songs, never tying itself down to one genre.
TAKAU's style is erratic to say the least. Characterized by an unabashed dysfunctionality, the music is both refractory and combustible as schizophrenic guitars thrive off ADD syncopation. The tender vocal leanings place you on the journal pages of vocalist Jason Timberman. His self-deprecating cries of love, loss, and abandonment emote a palpable pain in suffering, as the start-stop looming of hyperactive cacophony simultaneously erupt and dismantle. The band's ability to meld melodic math rock guitar with bombastic percussion makes for a dramatic marriage of frantic post-hardcore crunch with a post-rock temperament.
