The Profile

The Kills are a British-American duo formed in London in 2001 by American vocalist Alison Mosshart and English guitarist Jamie Hince. Signed to Domino Records, they’re known for minimalist drum-machine beats, gritty guitars, and a stark, blues-inflected indie rock sound.

Formed in London in 2001; members: Alison Mosshart (US) and Jamie Hince (UK). Associated with Domino Records. Mosshart also sings in The Dead Weather. Known for using drum machines instead of a live drummer and for a raw garage/blues-rock aesthetic.

Six DeBaser reviews chart The Kills from raw, claustrophobic early cuts to hook-heavy highs and divisive pop-leaning turns. No Wow and Midnight Boom get strong praise; Blood Pressures earns solid approval. Keep On Your Mean Side and Ash & Ice draw sharper criticism. Live energy: intense, ritualistic, and noisy.
