If Looks Could Kill, I'd Watch You Die

If Looks Could Kill I'd Watch You Die was Death By Stereo's first release, released in 1999 under Indecision Records. It is highly acclaimed in the hardcore community for its originality and raw sound, tight drumming, lightning fast guitars and tempo changes. This album is centred on the drums, much more so than their other releases. The introductory track is a sound-bite from the film The Lost Boys, of which the band's name is also derived.
