Keep On Your Mean Side Poster
Originally released in 2003, Florida/London duo The Kills heralded the arrival of a creative force that has developed over the last five years into an innovative, boundary pushing rock group. The album was critically lauded internationally, and has become a touchstone for a new generation of blues and garage inspired bands. This re-issue includes five rare, bonus b-sides, including covers of Dock Boggs' "Sugar Baby", Jonathan Fire*eater's "The Search For Cherry Red", and Captain Beefheart's "Dropout Boogie".The Kills? debut is a stark 21st Century blues album, the sort of thing that would have struggled to find an audience before the White Stripes broke into the mainstream. So it?s lucky for them--and us--that they had such respectable coattails to ride on. The duo--Alison Mosshart, a.k.a. VV, and Hotel--play a music that?s blues influenced with a garage rock edge, and that?s where the similarities end. Sure, the Kills use a drum machine instead of a live drummer, but the differences run much deeper than that: The Kills?s blues rock is dirtier and more sex-drenched version of blues rock, a result of the shared vocal duties of Hotel and VV. The sultry "Hitched" says it all ("I?ll get my name stitched on your lips so you won?t get hitched"). These are songs that sweat sexual menace, recalling Boss Hogg or early PJ Harvey (on "Superstition" and "Wait," VV?s voice is a dead ringer for young Polly Jean?s). Best of all, these songs are stuffed with hooks. In a sea of pretenders, the Kills are capable of providing some genuine competition for the White Stripes.--Robert Burrow
