Bio:
Signed just 12 weeks from inception following a John Parish (PJ Harvey) produced EP; Kill It Kid hit Ryan Hadlock’s (The Gossip, Johnny Flynn) Seattle studio to lay down their début album - later critically appraised across the board (“An Outstanding British Record 9/10” Clash Magazine. XFM New Music Award finalists, alongside The XX & Florence).Life on the road, coupled with a misguided ‘nu-folk’ tag, pushed the band towards a new, dirtier, blues inspired sound for the follow up album 'Feet Fall Heavy', recorded with producer Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno, Brett Anderson) it has been described as ‘raw, inelegant and untainted’.Singles ‘Pray On Me’ 'Heart Rested With You' & 'Wild & Wasted Water' proved grittier than anything prior, marrying punishing riffs a la Black Keys to Turpin’s anguished howl - leading Radio 1's Zane Lowe to describe Kill It Kid as "Exciting and essential, my kind of music". Soon came a 9/10 rating from Classic Rock Magazine ("As well as getting the sound spot on, this album delivers mammoth tunes. Terrifyingly Good") and The Mirrors Gavin Martin branding 'Feet Fall Heavy' with 4/5 stars ("An emphatic slice of folk blues Zeppelin would have been proud of. Praise Be”).Parting company with One Little Indian Records, Kill It Kid's path crossed with legendary A&R icon Seymour Stein (the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductee who inked The Ramones & Madonna amongst others), bonding over a shared love of early Blues the band have spent the summer demo'ing tracks for their third (as yet untitled) album - with long term Warner Records staff Producer Julian Raymond in the production hotseat.
Album:
By none other than Jack White himself, felt a singer and guitarist Chris Turpin inspired to soak up the spirit of the blues in it. The legacy of the old (and younger) heroes of different blues generations forms the basis for the young band from Bath (UK): Kill It Kid.Their sound is not purely retro, yet it can be packed in an actual genre. Their explosive mix of traditional Blue feel, groovy stoner rock-bonds, thoughtful lyrics Americana-robe and a generous helping of grunge-heavy heaviness have given them a loyal fan base. Among them, the A & R legend Seymour Stein, who discovered his character, the Ramones and Madonna.With such a sound even Gary Clark Jr. could not keep still and took the grungy blues from the United Kingdom unceremoniously as tour support to Munich and Hamburg's feet.But who now thinks Kill It Kid have to really assess the another think coming: soon your album "You Owe Nothing" will appear. The singles "I'll Be The First" and "Caroline" offered a first taste of its many facets. Coming soon the piñata is further unpacked, we can look really excited ...
