Kits
Salvation
After starting out in the city of Melbourne, Australia, The Kits relocated to London where their sound has come into its
own. Their tales of crime, addiction and short-lived romances have resulted in a rapturous following and earned them
support slots with The Dirtbombs, Wolfmother, The Saints and The Nightmarchers, as well as rave reviews in magazines
like Kerrang and Artrocker. Taking as their starting point the days when rocknroll was still considered a threat to the
morals of the worlds youth, The Kits are a garage rocknroll band at heart. Theyve taken the stomp and grit of the 50s
and 60s and given it the injection of eternal youth through relentless
guitar hooks and snarling vocals. Their music is for yesterday, for today, for tomorrow. The Kits debut album Primitive
Tales was released through Dirty Water Records late in 2008 and has gone through several pressings. Reviews said: "I
Want To Hold Your Hand and Go To Hell is the coolest song of the year. Period. I had to get that off my chest. Many make
it a point to say that powerpop is garage rock with some Kinks influence and better production, but this is not garage
rock. The Kits have managed to carve themselves out a nice little space somewhere between the two. The albums catchy,
loud, and has plenty of snarls, wails, and early punk styled melodic riffs; the style of music is very much like
Television and The Saints with heavy guitar, but with a little more willingness to at least attempt at having something
called a vocal, with melodies that knock on the early post punk of Joy Division, with a little more power, a lot more
heart, and a lot less darkness. Their latest recording session was produced by Chris Bailey (of The Saints), and the
first release from these endeavours is available as seven inchvinyl and digital download. The vinyl single also features
the track Detroit Feeling and is a limited edition release of 500 individually numbered copies.
