So I'm listening to Kill It Kid for the 1st time. I was slgihtly put off listening to 'em cos their name is shite. Looking at the fresh faced young picture of them on the back of the sleeve for 'Heaven Never Seemed So Close' I'm amazed they're making this complex bar room blues/boogie music which would make our Jools well proud. To be honest I'm reasonably taken aback as I didn't expect 'em to sound like that! They look too young to be making hoary old blues rock music like this.... The strings which smother it are an unusual addition which continues the astonishment. I genuinely don't know what to say about it....

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
