Beautiful Bastard Noise
The Kill Devil Hills formed in Perth in 2003 as a quiet acoustic project which didn't last very long, quickly swelling ranks like a looming tide, until 15 years and a few divorces later it settled down (sort of) as 5-piece purveyor of tuneful cacophony, beautiful bastard noise. The band has toured extensively in that time: Australia of course, but also to North America, and several tours to Europe. Ugly but honest ballads, and gene-spliced sonic travesties....in other words, a rock band with a heart of mud and coal and an entrancing, visceral, emotive and usually very loud live act this is one of those special Australian mutant bands that only remote continents can cough up, a species confined to islands, fever-dreams, and occasionally to strut the stage a while. Catch them if you can.
