Story of The Kills
The Kills, the acclaimed English-American rock duo, are a force to be reckoned with. Fronted by the powerhouse vocals of Alison "VV" Mosshart (USA) and the sharp guitar work of Jamie "Hotel" Hince (UK), theyve carved a significant niche in the alternative rock landscape. Signed to Domino Records, their distinctive sound has propelled them to success, with their first four albums – *Keep on Your Mean Side*, *No Wow*, *Midnight Boom*, and *Blood Pressures* – all charting in the UK. Their fifth studio album, *Ash & Ice*, released in 2016, further solidified their position, reaching the UK Albums Chart
s top 20.
Before their 2001 formation, Mosshart and Hince each honed their skills in other bands. Mossharts raw energy was previously unleashed in the punk rock outfit Discount, while Hince contributed to acts like Scarfo and Blyth Power. Their collaboration began serendipitously; a chance meeting in London during Discount
s UK tour, where Mosshart was staying in an apartment below Hinces, led to an undeniable creative spark. Mosshart
s persistence paid off, convincing Hince to form a band. He even provided her with a four-track recorder, encouraging her to compose music in addition to lyrics while touring. The exchange of musical ideas, initially through tapes, laid the foundation for the unique sound that defines The Kills.
