Kill It Kid make blues/rock tunes. Whilst Chris was searching out old blues vinyl in Norwich as a teenager, Stephanie was doing the same in her hometown of Crawley. When the two were asked to become a makeshift band for a recording project at their uni in Bath, they quickly realised how much they had in common and decided to form a band for real. Along the way other members have come and gone, but Dom and Marc are very much signed up to the cause right now. Their latest album, You Owe Nothing, was released last year and is available through iTunes.
WHAT?
Kill It Kid may still have blues blood running through them, but this is no purist outfit. They might be named after a Blind Willie McTell song, but they can pound the drums, keys and guitars as well as the next band. Steph powers her way through tracks and Chris' vocals sound like they have been physically ripped from his throat. Whilst you wait to see who will lead on the next track, it's clear it's not a competition for our attention, it's just a band with equally strong male, female songwriters, vocalists, performers. Oh, and when you think the volume can't be turned up any more, they drop the tempo and produce songs with proper good harmonies.
LIVE?
