Brooklyn-based five-piece (who take their name from an infamous NYC toxic landfill), Freshkills is comprised of Zachary Lipez (vocals), Jonny Rauberts (guitar), Tim Murray (guitar), Mishka Shubaly (bass), and Jim Paradise (drums).
Freshkills debut EP, the poetic, jarring Creeps and Lovers (Arclight Records 2006), was produced by NYC hardcore stalwart Joel Hamilton and earned rave reviews from publications such as Vice and Punk Planet. Freshkills, (self-released 2008, re-released on In Music We Trust 2010), was recorded with producer Alex Newport (At The Drive-In, The Locust). The track “Revelations” was remixed by Nick Zinner of The Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Freshkills have toured the US twice, and in 2009 played a string of UK dates supporting Vivian Girls, Duchess Says, and The Hold Steady. Mainstays of the NY scene, Freshkills have supported an array of high profile bands in their hometown including The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV On The Radio, …Trail Of Dead, and Mission of Burma.
