The Honeymoon Killers were an American noise rock band from New York City, formed in 1984. Their name is taken from the 1970 crime film The Honeymoon Killers.[1][2] The band was started by Jerry Teel and Lisa Wells, but they were accompanied by Michael O'Neill and Claire Lawrence-Slater on their first album. Later line-ups would consist of members of like-minded bands such as Boss Hog, Pussy Galore, and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. The Honeymoon Killers' sound is deeply rooted in the blues, earning them comparisons to The Cramps, whom Teel has great admiration for.[3] The group disbanded in 1994, with its leader Jerry Teel joining the Chrome Cranks.[2]
