Mainly influenced by punk rock and heavy metal acts such as the Stooges, early-era Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, Iron Maiden, the Ramones, Girlschool, Joan Jett, and Neil Young, they had crafted their own unique, sleazy style of rock and roll, once being described as "a derailed train hitting a Baptist Church". Lemmy from Motörhead described Kïll Cheerleadër as the "greatest rock n' roll band since Guns N' Roses".

After travelling to the U.S. West Coast and playing a number of high-profile shows in Los Angeles. Their debut album, All Hail, was released in 2004 through Spinerazor Records.
