Random Killing


Random Killing is a Canadian punk rock band from Toronto who were assembled initially as a joke in 1984. After writing a few decent songs, the band decided to record and stayed together.
In 1995, their song "12," from Thoughts of Aggression, was re-recorded at CBC Studios and released as an animated video by Sesame Park and subsequently picked up by Sesame Street where it aired internationally for almost a decade. It was a series of animated number segments that featured an animal rock band performing while showing the number of the day.
In 1998, the band performed and interviewed live on CTV's Open Mike with Mike Bullard.
They have performed with bands such as Ripcordz, Armed and Hammered, Dayglo Abortions, GBH, Agnostic Front, Bad Brains, Propagandhi, D.O.A., UK Subs, Bunchofuckingoofs, Coffin Break, Dead Kennedys and Submachine to name a few.
Their song "Undertaker", was featured in a 2008 Space documentary titled "Zombiemania".
Through Raw Energy records Random Killing has achieved worldwide record distribution via A&M records, Page Distribution, Black Mark Production and EMI records. Used and new records, CDs and cassettes are also widely available internationally on eBay.
Random Killing has remained active performing since 1984 and will be celebrating their 35th anniversary in 2019.
