Kills - Keep On Your Mean Side


Label: Domino Records
Format: CD
"Raw" debut offering from the Patti Smith and P.J. Harvey inspired Kills, who were Primal Scream’s main support band on their recent British tour



Review

The Kills are VV and Hotel, a guy and a girl. The guy, Hotel, used to be in a pop outfit Scarfo, but the music of the Kills owes nothing to the music of Scarfo. It is inspired by Patti Smith and P.J. Harvey. It is very raw, which is a good thing They were Primal Scream’s main support band on their recent British tour . Although raw, they also mix in an acoustic picked track at the end, and a spoken word piece. The best tracks work because of the Smith/Harvey elements. This is definitely an album that vill grow on you the more that you listen to it.
