The Killjoys came out of Hamilton, Ontario, in 1992 and rode the alternative rock wave of the '90s to a respectable run of success in Canada. Mike Trebilcock sang and played guitar, Gene Champagne drummed and Shelley Woods rounded out the lineup, and they recorded for Warner Music Canada.
Starry, from 1994, gave them "Today I Hate Everyone", a title that says plenty about the band's sense of humor: a scrappy, hooky slice of guitar pop with a grin on its face and a chip on its shoulder. Gimme Five followed in 1996 with "Soaked". They broke up before the decade was out, but since 2002 they've kept getting back together and splitting up again.
