Strong of last year favourable critics, Manchester’s four-piece band The Kill Van Kulls are set to release their new EP titled Songs For Sinners on 23rd of April.
They crafted their own studio in Stockport and recorded a new EP after last year live shows and BBC3 coverage of their Reading Festival performance.
The opening song, Impossible Man has been already widely broadcasted and promoted. A catchy electro-indie anthem that inevitably make you jump in a muddy summer festival. Lead singer Gareth Bartlett got the right sanguine voice for the upbeat climax of the song perfectly modelled for screaming teenagers.
More interesting is the second track Shame and Pride a well engineered 80s style synth pop. Flames and Alive don’t bring anything new and interesting to our ears.
Songs For Sinners donates a bunch of tunes to radio stations that will devour them in the next few months.
The Kill Van Kulls already played in great places in front of crowds bigger than small local venues. Is this going to last though?
