Kick to Kill - 'Cut Me'

While the band worked on the final mixes of the tracks, frontman Dave Cook was attacked in Glasgow city centre. He was stabbed twice in the head, and twice in the chest, literally escaping death by millimetres. After being revived and stitched up in hospital, Dave Cook discharged himself the following morning with the immortal words "It doesn't hurt." This band are truly indestructable.

'Cut Me' is the brand new single from their forthcoming EP, and Kick to Kill really are proving themselves to be one to watch.

One thing which is very apparent in Kick to Kill's music is just how much they love what they do; they have notated their passion and enthusiasm straight into the track, and you can't help but get excited about these guys.

There's something very unusual about their sound, something nostalgically retro with David Cook's voice which wouldn't sound out of place in an 80s synth band - but this doesn't leave them sounding old-fashioned or like anything you've heard before, Kick to Kill are bringing something new to the rock world. You are going to like this band, but you probably won't be able to put your finger on why.

Their heady rock has subtle undertones of both gothic and emo inspirations and they are a band that will appeal to a wide variety of people. Download the single from www.myspace.com/FlowersInTheDustbin from Monday and you'll be eagerly awaiting the release of their EP next year.
