Kill Hannah formed in 1995 in a dorm room at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.  Although the line-up morphed over the first few years, until the addition of Jon Radtke in 2000, one thing has remained consistent: From the very beginning Kill Hannah have been one of the hardest-working groups in the city.  It was not uncommon to see members of the band endure rain and snow to hand out flyers to strangers after shows, as they still do to this day. Eventually the band's determination paid off as a following exploded to the point where Kill Hannah were selling out bi-monthly gigs at Chicago's world-famous Metro club, forging the same path as previous local legends, The Smashing Pumpkins.

Between 1996 and 2002, Kill Hannah also released a slew of albums, singles and EPs independently. "All of which quickly sold out of multiple pressings.

Today the fan base is devoted, passionate and monstrous. They mimic the band's fashion, max out the bandwidth at the official website (over 20,000 hits per week), and have generated over 110,000 posts on the official message board in the last 4 months alone.
