ILL is a genre-evading band which believes in the power of disobedient noise. With a repertoire of precarious pop songs and frequent improvised departures, ILL revel in the right to be weird, exploring the borders between the funny and the sinister, the personal and the political, the mundane and the surreal.

“Kick Him Out The Disco” is a song about realising that it’s not You, it’s definitely Them. It’s about standing up for yourself and giving your manipulative exes and incompetent overlords a glittered middle finger.
ILL warmly invite you to “Give them the final shove” and tell them to go prorogue themselves!

“Absolutely fantastic.” John Kennedy, Radio X

“Grotty, wild, weird, frenzied music… fiercely political.” – The Guardian

(NARC. magazine)
“We Are Ill is psychedelic, surreal, weird, funny and poignant. And with it, Ill have created a fearless debut that’s utterly unique.”
(Drowned In Sound)
“It’s an epiphany.” (Soundblab Alternative Music)

“This album is like a hunt. It’s stalking sound with speed, picking off our prejudices, taking chunks out of the patriarchy and throwing it forward as wonky pop with a raw, resonant edge. Music which makes a point, and makes it in the sharpest, most stunning sense. It brings in rawness, roughed-up riffs, even bits of metal (in the musical and material sense) along with soaring, stricken harmonies.
