Kill Your Friends is based on the novel by John Niven, in which an A&R director played by Nicholas Hoult ruthlessly tries to maintain his position atop the British music industry while maintaining a lifestyle of drug abuse, long nights drinking at bars and hooking up with multiple women for meaningless sex.
This period of the music industry marks a peak in CD sales before the Internet and piracy brought everything crumbling down and the British rock scene had a healthy string of artists, many of which are featured on the soundtrack.
The indie film directed by Owen Harris didn't have the money to pay all the artists according to a Hollywood Reporter interview with Hoult. The bands apparently had to give clearance for the use knowing the small indie production couldn't quite pay them in full.
