Killing Kuddles

Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Killing Kuddles is a folky punk band built on fast indie-pop songwriting, punk attitude, and a streak of Americana spirit. What began in 2010 as Elwood Kuddles writing stripped-down acoustic songs gradually evolved into a full three-piece band, bringing more energy, grit, and volume to the project’s already sharp sense of melody.

After releasing Waking Up Older in 2011 and Odd Man Out in 2013, Killing Kuddles began earning attention from music blogs across the country, while their song Rock & Roll is Dead received airplay on local Atlanta radio. Their sound blends raw acoustic roots with scrappy punk urgency, creating songs that feel both heartfelt and restless.

Signed to Autumn + Colour in 2014, Killing Kuddles released Nobody, Dirty Mouth, and American Dreaming through the label. Across each release, the band continued to refine its mix of catchy hooks, honest storytelling, and rough-around-the-edges charm, carving out a distinct place in Atlanta’s independent music scene.
