Bands and new music for fans of the-kills

Earthquake

by Queens & Kings

Hi! We are Queens & Kings, a rock duo from Toronto. Normally I (Alissa) play drums and Brendan plays guitar with the occasional swap, but on this track, Brendan plays both instruments AT ONCE! The music video was filmed in two abandoned locations, one now demolished. Hope you like it!

Lightning

by The Mandevilles

Hi Punktastic gang! We're The Mandevilles. Our new song "Lightning" reflects on the masochistic side of a past relationship. Eventually realizing that it just didn't work, but there's still this sick thrill from going through hell for someone you think you're meant to be with. Plus it's grungy af!

Big Monster

by I am HER

We are I am HER.
This is the first time we've used an electric guitar and pedal on our record, giving a fresh take on our distinctive sound.
This song is about anxiety and how anxiety is like a beast separate to us that stalks us and preys on us.

Meet Cute

by Separatr

Meet Cute is our second single, and a catchy, pop-influenced sell-out hit with and edge. It's a tongue-in-cheek satire of romantic comedies and love songs that will satisfy the sarcastic, the smug, and the self-deprecating.

Rustle and Racket

by Separatr

After spending years working with various drummers in our first band, The Shows, we've struck out on our own. In our backyard recording studio, we write and produce all our own music and make way more noise than two people should (with the help of our Roland SPD ONE WAV). -Stephanie and Joe

Golden Plates

Howdy! Check out the first single off of Golden Plates new LP, Farewell to Zion, "You're Pretty, I'm Drunk".

For fans of

Sit Down

We're Sit Down, and alt rock duo from Brighton or like Abba from hell. We make heavy fuzzed up rock to get sexy to.

For fans of

Tokyo Taboo

Written about the animal attraction you feel for someone even when you know they will only cause you pain, our new single 'No Pleasure Only Pain' rages with our trademark ferocity, as whirring hooks race alongside tremendous beats and the immense power of front-woman Dolly Daggerz’ vocals.

For fans of

Bitch Falcon

We're Bitch Falcon and this is our track 'Prime Number'. It's basically an apology song, for people close to me for being too self-obsessed and narcissistic to the point of pushing them away. It’s a nod to myself trying too hard to be cool and I'm probably better off just being plain ole me - Lizzie

For fans of

MAWD
