The Raygun Girls is a NY Hard Rock group that has been compared to Lacuna Coil, Evanescence, Killing Joke, Filter and Static X. The music is as much influenced by The Ramones as by Nine Inch Nails; as much by Siouxsie and the Banshees as by Pantera In October, 2006, upon the strength of songs like “Sleep” and “Can’t Die Now”, The Raygun Girls was invited to play the Rock Solid Pressure A&R Showcase in Florida. The Raygun Girls put together a tour and headed down South. With only a 10 minute set, The Raygun Girls were offered deals by record labels that were in attendance. The Raygun Girls then returned to New York to begin contract negotiations. As 2006 came to a close, singer Cila was invited to join The Raygun Girls, bringing fresh blood, excitement and energy to a band about to explode. In 2007 The Raygun Girls signed with KillZone Records, recorded and released their EP, “Fire Inside”. The single "Look at Me" was #1 for 4 weeks straight on the Cashbox Magazine Independent Metal Charts, as reported by the Independent Artist Company, and spent at least 35 weeks in the Top 10. "Look at Me" is also KillZone Records' most downloaded song
Press Release:   The Raygun Girls have undergone one helluva journey to get here from the time KillZone Records first saw them perform in Florida in 06 which has seen the band survive a band line up change plus all the normal hard times surviving life in New York state, which also included for founder/guitarist Geoff his third open heart surgery. This is one tough band. The Raygun Girls are built to endure and hit back with hard metal grooves that hit with a punk rock attitude, some goth atmosphere and modern heavy industrial beats just to ram the point home. If you are a fan of Lacuna Coil, Evanesence, NIN, Filter, Static X or just want some great modern metal then listen to.
