Bio The Kill Devil Hills is a West Australian 5-piece rock band formed in 2003. The Hills’ gripping live acts and recorded work have variously been described as swamp, punk, country-rock, blues, folk; the diverse textures of the band’s sound ranges from mournful heart-heavy ballads to screeching, visceral jungle punk. Having toured Australia extensively the band has also started venturing abroad and toured the US and Canada and will be in Europe in the 2010 summer. The multi-award-winning group has spent the best part of 2009 completing their 3rd album, ‘Man, You Should Explode’ released nationally in September 2009 thru Torn and Frayed/Shock. “The Kill Devils mine a rock sound that’s so distinctly Australian in its larrikin, hard-drinking, hard-living spirit that given the chance they’d surely have been the most popular band on the phonograph at the Ned Kelly’s Glenrowan Inn showdown… With the wailing violin of Alex Archer up front The Kill Devils again proved they’re one of the finest acts this country has to offer – a Dream Team to match any comers.” - FasterLouder “This Perth band’s excellent independent album slipped under the radar late last year but shouldn’t have. Like the Drones, The Kill Devil Hills have drunk in classic country-rock forms learned from Dylan, the Band and Tom Waits and transmuted them through a distinctly Australian Imagination. The world conjured in The Drought is sun-parched and dark, rollicking and mournful.” - The Sydney Morning Herald – 4 STARS out of 5 更多>>
