Kill Baby Kill - Live ISD Memorial

Fronted by lead singer Dieter Samoy, Kill Baby, Kill! got their start in Belgium, all the way back in 2002 with a tape recorded demo of three original songs. After recording the demo nothing really happened with the band until Dieter decided to take things a little more seriously two years later and re-record those three same songs plus 2 more in a proper studio. At this time the band was going by the name Roadkill until they decided that name sucked just enough to change their name to Stronghold. Then they came to their senses once again and realized that the name Stronghold was way too overused and settling on the B horror movie title Kill Baby! Kill.

Some time around late 2005 and early 2006 KBK released the five recorded songs on a split with English R.A.C. band English Rose. After the split was released KBK was being received as an act everyone had to see if they were a fan of R.A.C. In early 2008 they came out with their debut full length album entitled "Give Back The Oi!" which featured 11 new songs in the same style that defined the band from the split with English Rose. While KBK took the Skinhead scene by storm, the speculations of them being racists and Nazis echoed on every message board. Dieter's lyrics never shyed away from what he really thought on issues from race to welfare, but with their above standard music and imagery they always kept fans through thick and thin.

With little time after "Give Back The Oi!" KBK came out with their next album "The Prophet Returns". The album kept the same pace on the music level but toned down the racially charged lyrics and subject matters. From this time on, KBK would never have a long enough period without a release for anyone to forget their name. Besides the releases already mentioned, Dieter and the band released two more full length albums and a hand full of splits and ep's. KBK was getting press from both sides of the Skinhead scene. The SHARP and left leaning crowd hated them with a passion, while absolutely everyone else in the scene wanted more.

Unfortunately, the world saw an end to Kill Baby, Kill! in the early months of 2010 with the suicide of front-man Dieter Samoy. Dieter was tried and found guitly of an assualt crime that he was arrested for in 2006. He stood by his story of not being a contributer of the beatting of Raphael Mensah (52). However he did admit witnessing it, and instead of calling the authorites, he decided to run from the scene of the crime. He was working on getting a degree in teaching and focused on starting a future with his girlfriend Priscilla. Raphel Mensah spent one month in a coma after the beatting he recieved, and would die one year later from a pulmonary embolism. Doctors could never prove that the beatting, Dieter was acussed of, contributed to his death. However, family members of Mensah were reluctent to believe otherwise. Dieter knew that with a 2-year prison sentence on his name, he would never be able to use his teaching degree and thought that a happy future was nearly impossible. With the overwhelming amount of depression running though his head he decided to take his own life before serving his prison sentence. Friends and fans of the musician stared at their computer screens in disbelief while reading the news. At the same time some proud leftist skinheads didn't hesitate to put in their two cents about the singer/song writer with tastless jabs toward a dead young man. Whether you hated Dieter or loved him, one thing is for sure, his music was something almost every skinhead could relate to. With that being said, I highly doubt anyone will forget the band that was KILL BABY, KILL!. -http://thespiritofyesterdayoi.blogspot.com/2010/07/kill-baby-kill.html
