The Band Dead Girls take their image seriously. They have names like Bertha Beirut and Nancy Napalm (who dresses in fatigues and has a guitar shaped like an M-16), and songs like You've Got To Kill Yourself and Nailgun Murders. They have loyal fans that form suicide pacts - like the singer's younger sister - she's the only one who who survives one such death circle and the band is so distraught they need to take a few days off at a cabin in the woods. Lots of people hate the Dead Girls too, like the sisters' Aunt, the town minister, the sheriff who burns all of their records, and the mystery character who dresses in this sweet trenchcoat, fedora, and skull mask and kills them based on lyrics to their songs. This may be one of the only rock n roll slasher movies where we don't get to see the band play or even practice, although we do kind of get to hear one of their songs (it sounds like 45 Grave). It may bit about 15 minutes too long, but it does have a mentally unbalanced handyman named Elmo, a particularly nasty axe killing, and about 10 trick endings.
