Kill It Kid
This month, we have teamed up with BBC Introducing to bring 5 piece British band Kill It Kid to Reading. A wonderful band who produce Americana and dirty Rock n Roll Blues music.
The band have a unique sound, their line-up including slide guitar, a lot of fiddle and at times banjo. After two successful single releases they released their self titled debut album in October 2009 which was produced by the legendary Ryan Hadlock (Foo Fighters/The Strokes/The Gossip).
Kill it Kid have widely been recognised as one of the best new acts with magazines such as NME and Clash rating the album 8 and 9 out of 10 respectively. Plus being featured in Clash magazine's 'Ones to watch' 2010 list.
"Uncontrived, Kill It Kid are a brave, raw talent" - BBC INTRODUCING
"....an outstanding British record" - 9/10, CLASH MAGAZINE
"A hook-laden riot.....impressive stuff" - 8/10, NME
"Unbridled quality" - DROWNED IN SOUND

A.Genuine.Freakshow
A 7-piece pop-infused post-rock. Songs born of their broad range of influences from Elbow and Radiohead to Mogwai and Explosions In The Sky are accompanied by lush orchestral arrangements and the sincere falsetto vocals.
