"Uncontrived, Kill It Kid are brave, raw talent."
BBC Newsbeat Introducing... March 09
“The Kill It Kid moniker comes from an old Blind Willie McTell record, and although something of Antony Hegarty Haunts Chris Turpin's vocal style, when Steph Ward adds in her contribution the American rock and blues roots come through like a month-old peroxide dye job on a truck-stop waitress. Unexpectedly they're from the South of England, so there is a nice touch of the cider drinker's carousing in there as well, ultimately forging a trans-Atlantic relationship that is rather special.” –

"Bath's Kill It Kid hold many aces up their sleave: immediately striking perhaps, there's frontman Chris Turpin's achingly sad roar of a singing voice, which is offset admirably by keyboardest Stephanie Ward's dulcet tones. A propensity towards delta-blues influenced, rootsy songcraft is also evident, and steered far from waters contrived through its unbridled quality"
Drowned In Sound January 09
"The Bristol band recently signed to One Little Indian Records and boast one of the most devisive sounds around. Following in the likes of Anthony Hegarty and Wild Beats KIK main man Chris Turpin has a deep and rich voice that will entice and enthrall as well as create confusion aplenty. We think it's beautiful and hope you do too.
Gigwise New Music Monday April 09
"'Send me and Angel Down' is not an out-and-out blues track. However, by taking the blues sentiment and combining it with an almost orchestral backing and warm, sort-of 'chocked' vocal style reminiscent in parts of Tom Waits, KIll It Kid have come up with a powerful, soulful and uptimes mournful yet strangely uplifting song."
