The Kills

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

The bluesy punk duo the Kills consists of vocalist/guitarist VV, aka Alison Mosshart, formerly of the Florida punk band Discount, and drummer/guitarist/vocalist Hotel, aka Jamie Hince. After Discount ended in 2000, VV began exchanging tapes with the London-based Hotel through the mail, but both of them felt hindered by this method, so VV crossed the Atlantic so the duo could write faster.

This duo subtly and organically fuses pop, glam, blues, art-punk, and hip-hop in a manner that flits between light and dark, funny and morbid, experimental and cute.

The Kills consist of VV and Hotel. These two have been making music for the past year and doing a lot of home recordings where they live in the UK as well. They have a serious knack for doing great raw recordings, narcotic and saccharine - the drums alone will pull you in. Strong female presence much like Chrissie Hynde of Pretenders and Justine Frischmann from Elastica with fierce singing and wild taunts similar to Patti Smith. Male vocals much like the sounds of Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground and eve   [ read more ]
