Kill It Kid

Signed just 12 weeks from inception following a John Parish (PJ Harvey) produced EP; Kill It Kid debut album, produced by Ryan Hadlock's (The Gossip) was critically appraised across the board ("An Outstanding British Record 9/10" Clash Magazine. XFM New Music Award finalists, alongside The XX & Florence Welch). A misguided 'nu-folk' tag, pushed the band towards a dirtier, blues inspired sound for Album two 'Feet Fall Heavy', recorded with producer Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno, Brett Anderson). Raw, inelegant and untainted it proved grittier than anything prior, marrying punishing riffs to Turpin's howl - leading Radio 1's Zane Lowe to describe Kill It Kid as "Exciting and essential, my kind of music". Parting company with One Little Indian Records, Kill It Kid's path crossed with A&R icon Seymour Stein (The Ramones, Madonna, The Smiths) bonding over a love of early Blues and inked with his Warner imprint, Sire Records.
