MPLS-based 90s alt-rock revivalists (think of them as a less angry, but similarly feminist cousin of Baby Guts, or the little sister of Sybris) Kill to Kill have posted a new demo to their MySpace page titled "Kid Whore," and if you're a fan of any of the previously mentioned groups, you should like this.

Beginning with haunting, clean-toned minor-key arpeggios, singer Sylvia Izabella starts to read off a list of kiss-off lyrics ("I hope your plane falls"), when the band comes in to keep a solid, sturdy beat, before everything explodes for the chorus (if chorus explosions could also have atmospheric singing, which this does). All in all, a solid track. -Jon Graef (MFR).

MUSIC

Fighter

“Fighter” is like a collection of diary entries and explorations into instrumentation. Kill to Kill tends to dislike the guitar - favoring bass and baritone guitars as the main vessels of sonic delivery. There are no traditional guitars on the album. Sylvia plays bass or baritone guitar and Chad plays a bass VI (a 30” scale six-stringed baritone guitar tuned one octave down from the standard guitar and not anything like the modern six-stringed bass). Minimal and aggressive, the “dual-bass harmony” is exactly the sound Kill to Kill has set out to achieve - two bass guitars fighting for dominance under ethereal female vocals and a hard hitting kick drum supplanting the role of “stringed” low-end in the mix.
