Kill the alarm? Well, maybe not just yet because we want to alert you to an amazing band from New York City: Kill the Alarm. You've probably played their song on JamLegend at least once, considering that almost all of their songs have hundreds of thousands of plays. Kill the Alarm play soaring alternative rock with thoughtful lyrics, and their songs have been featured on shows such as MTV's Real World. Kill the Alarm were contacted by the JamLegend founders early in the site's history, and they agreed to contribute music to the game. Their first song "Fire Away" has received almost 830,000 plays so far, making KTA one of the most popular artists on JamLegend. While we're impressed by KTA's diligence and songwriting talent, Garen from the band is impressed with the JamLegend community and its virtual guitar skills. He remembers seeing a YouTube video of someone playing a Kill the Alarm song: "He had nailed our top song 'Fire Away' on Insane level. Which is insane to me, since I tried it and couldn't make it past the first verse because it was toooooo damn difficult. and I wrote the song for God's sake!" Garen also pointed us to this video of someone from Indonesia playing their song "Sit Up" on YouTube as one of his favorites. You can find out more about Kill the Alarm on their official website, as well as on their Myspace and Facebook, or follow them on Twitter.
