About The Kills

A minimalist duo with maximum impact, the Kills strip rock 'n' roll down to its rawest essence and reinvent it with each release. When they appeared during the early 2000s garage rock revival, Jamie Hince's eloquently jagged guitar playing and Alison Mosshart's ability to snarl and sigh with equal conviction created sparks. This chemistry also made the Kills more enduring and inventive than many of their contemporaries as their music evolved from the scrappy blues-punk of 2003's Keep on Your Mean Side to the forward-thinking mix of garage rock, hip-hop, and electro pop of 2008's Midnight Boom to 2016's shadowy Ash & Ice. By the time of 2023's starkly dramatic God Games, the Kills had mastered an unmistakably stylish and raw sound that nevertheless defied easy classification.
