For want of an easy comparison, a blend Tom Waits, Anthony Hegarty and The Raconteurs has been mentioned. But Kill It Kid sound very much their own - an impassioned, adventurous slant on blues and dark pop through powerful songs, gorgeous two-part vocals and a penchant for down-home storytelling. The EP and live show immediately attracted One Little Indian Records, who signed the band in May 2008, three months after the band formed. The dual vocals of Chris Turpin and Stephanie Ward, recalling a brooding Anthony Hegarty, singing whiskey-soaked lullabies to Alison Krauss. Combine this with forceful strings and down-home percussion, and Kill It Kid is a band crafting mature melodies wise beyond their years.Since, Kill It Kid have soft-released their Parrish-produced EP through One Little Indian, and have flown off to Seattle to record their debut with Ryan Hadlock (Johnny Flynn, Foo Fighters, Fleet Foxes) at his studio, the same space Fleet Foxes recorded their eponymous album.
