Kill 'Em and Eat 'Em is a 1987 album by the UK underground group Pink Fairies.

Contents

This is a reformed Pink Fairies, prompted by an offer from Jake Riviera, head of Demon Records. Of the five original group members, Paul Rudolph wasn't involved. Wallis' preference for having a fellow guitarist led to the inclusion of the only non-former member Andy Colquhoun, but Colquhoun had worked extensively alongside Wallis from 1978 and year before that with Mick Farren during Warsaw Pakt band, also during 1980s The Deviants group. Farren himself contributes some lyrics, including those of a re-recording of his "Broken Statue" single.
