The Notekillers are a avant-rock and roll band hailing from Philadelphia, PA.

Notekillers existed way beyond the fringe during the halcyon no wave era of 77/81. Hitching up from Philly they played a few critical gigs in NYC, most notably on a bill with the then scorching Glen Branca ensemble. Their signature was instrumental guitar hyper-core, charged and super shifting.

Thurston Moore had hailed their 1980 7", The Zipper, as "mind-blowing" and named them as a significant influence on Sonic Youth in Mojo Magazine.
