Kill Twee Pop! is the first studio album by Sarandon, following the retrospective The Completists Library. It was released in 2008 on Slumberland Records, and featured the latest line-up of the band, with singer/guitarist Crayola joined by Tom Greenhalgh on drums and former Big Flame member Alan Brown on bass.

Tim Sendra, writing for Allmusic, described the album as "the sound of angry, political musicians who aren't afraid to be fractured, jarring, and off-putting".
