KILL WEALTHY DOWAGER is the brainchild of New Brunswick mainstay Bill Henderson. Bill’s stamp on NJ music over the years has been incredible, he’s notably been a member of PURPOSE, was later a founding member of THURSDAY (playing on Waiting and being involved in the writing process for Full Collapse), and later went on to form THE PROCEDURE, BETWEEN THE WARS and a slew of other projects. Also notable is his mastering work on bands as varied as The Wonder Years, Attica Attica, Tiger’s Jaw, Balance and Composure, Banquets, Daytrader, Grey Area, etc.

The record takes a punk rock foundation and adds in progressive yet melodic guitar work with a mid nineties post-punk vibe throughout. Take a melodic band like No Motiv, add in equal parts Protest the Hero and Quicksand, and you might end up somewhere near Kill Wealthy Dowager. Track two, “What’s Behind Door Number Two” features guest vocals by Popeye from Farside and “Cooler Friends That Us” and “Don’t Fret About It” feature guest vocals by Alf from The Fire Still Burns and Ex Number Five.

- I’ve never been let down by a project connected to Bill Henderson, and the guest appearance list looks exceptionally strong. Looking forward to hearing the whole thing!
