The Honeymoon Killers' sound is deeply rooted in the blues earning them comparisons to The Cramps, whose music was highly influential to Teel.
The group's rotating line-ups would consist of members belonging to like-minded bands such as Pussy Galore, Boss Hog, Ritual Tension and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.
The group disbanded in 1994, with its leader Jerry Teel forming The Chrome Cranks with drummer Bob Bert and guitarist William Gilmore Weber.
They were later accompanied by guitarist Michael O'Neill and former Ritual Tension bassist Claire Lawrence-Slater on drums on their 1984 debut album The Honeymoon Killers from Mars, released on the band's own label Fur Records.
