Jack Rawstone: Interview with The Kills

This is the reason I've been to see them live 4 times.

Hell yeah! I can't wait to hear the new album!!

You mean their new CD is already out? FUCK! I don't get paid till Thursday!

THE KILLS I LOVE YOU. BE MINE FOREVER.

the new cd actually comes out today, has anyone see the video for 'good ones' off their site yet?

fucking everything rock and roll should be.

Really, the album came out here 2 weeks ago? That video is so good! The site went down a while ago as too many peopel were watching it.

Not until tonight/tomorrow for us Yanks.

Great video!

"The Kills are contemporary bohemians who irreverently battle the norm."

um, it seems to me the norm these days is a revival of the stripped-down rock'n'roll sound, and acts like these guys getting a lot of attention for it... sorry, i am being churlish, but nothing annoys me more than when a band is thought to be terribly subversive or wild, when in fact they are just another band.

[edited to say] P.S. the most infuriating example of this being Slipknot, who are a bunch of fucking pussies.

Man a new album wooooohooo .... cant wait for a tour !!!! they have to stop by Montreal seriously .... I love that band ... cat claw was like my favorite song for months two years agos

I found the first album to be genius, the second to just be a predictable continuation... still good listening, but no real progression from the first.

The live show this time around was a disaster, but that could just have been on the one night I saw them. The sound was horrendous - distorted beyond the point of comprehension. Songs were hardly recognisable beneath the fuzz. I was really disappointed, as the couple of times I saw them touring the first album and before were amongst the best slices of rock'n'roll I've ever witnessed.

i like that they are trying this whole musical purity process... i don't know a part of me will always miss vv as alison from discount though... i loved everything discount did so i was kinda disapointed at the few songs i heard by the kills... i was sorta hoping for the lyrical genius that i came to expect from her. i geuss what i liked most about her lyrics was her ability to conjure up a mental image of the narrative. she was telling little stories i could relate to...those stories i miss.

i remember Discounts last London gig at this lil pub in KIngs X-first i;d heard of em..very good..think Jamie was there that night..respect to mr hince tho - his first two(?) bands - Scarfo and Fiji (?) i liked a lot
