- Debut album out 5th October
- Me, Myself, and I
- Formed for little over a year, Kill It Kid is a storming proposition. Fronted by two astounding vocalists (Chris Turpin and Stephanie Ward) and buttressed with strings, keys and slide guitar, Kill It Kid blend delta blues, folk and contemporary roots and indie, recalling the likes of Mumford & Sons or Bon Iver. ‘Send Me an Angel Down’ is their debut single for One Little Indian Records, and is a precursor to their debut album, due out in early autumn. It’s an indie-folk novella, one that sounds quite unlike anything else at the moment.
Kill It Kid draw similarities to Tom Waits, Anthony Hegarty and The Raconteurs at times, but as a whole the band 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. Kill It Kid formed through old musical friends and projects at Bath Spa University. Vocalist Chris Turpin began performing solo, occasionally joined by drummer

"make sure you see them now before they become a bunch of dots in the distance at a stadium"
Kill It Kid tour starts tomorrow.
"Their music is so assured that it would be highly unlikely to guess that Kill It Kid is the groups’ eponymous debut and that its members are all hovering around the 21 mark.
Kill It Kid are a blistering rock and roll band with a whole lot of soul. Fronted by the two part vocal harmonies of Chris Turpin and Stephanie Ward, this powerful set of songs reach for the stars and frequently get scorchingly close.
Turpin’s voice is a unique instrument in itself, seemingly arriving from another time and place, while Ward’s softer, huskier tones form the perfect foil.
Strings and slide guitar give their sound an ambitiously fresh feel, touching on delta blues, roots and foot-down, pedal to the metal, unapologetic rock and roll.
Comparisons with such greats as Tom Waits and Led Zeppelin have already been drawn, but it’s a mix of The White Stripes and full tilt Pogues that sits best with these ears.
On tour throughout October, make sure you see them now before they become a bunch of dots in the distance at a stadium."
