14. The Killer Barbies
https://youtu.be/ZVoDQQAixSM Fronted by fiery Sylvia Superstar, who bears a passing resemblance to Sheri Moon Zombie, Spains Killer Barbies flaunted their status as geek outsiders by singing about Charles Manson, comic books and Tromaville on a string of albums released between 1995 and 2003, falling silent after 2003s Sin Is In. A reappraisal is long overdue, but in the meantime you can check out the film Vampire Killer Barbys (the bands name was changed to placate Mattel), where they encounter bloodsuckers, homicidal housekeepers and a scythe-wielding dwarf. TOP TRACKS: Lovekiller, I Wanna Live In Tromaville, Comic Books
