"Prettier Than Me
by Caitlin Boersma
Nov 29, 2007
Artists from Seattle are generally passed to the local music director at KUPS 90.1 FM, but I, the alternative music director, grabbed Kiss Her For the Kid’s new release, Prettier Than Me. Since the “one guy with a drum machine and laptop” sound has become quite popular and the alternative and electronic genres are sometimes difficult to distinguish, the organic sound of Kiss Her really stands out.
At first Kiss Her reminded me of Pretty Girls Make Graves, but this group has more punk influence and definitely more attitude. Their new album, Prettier Than Me, begins with the upbeat “High” complete with catchy guitar hooks and shrieks from lead singer Hannah Roberts. On the softer “Lickalisculous,” Roberts croons “Don’t you be lickalisculous to me.” I’m still uncertain what this means, but I promise it will be in your head for the next week. The band really shines on “Kiss Off Down the Road” when Sean London joins Roberts in a call-and-response style love song.
If their live show is anything like their new album, Kiss Her For the Kid is sure to put on a fun and energetic performance. — Caitlin Boersma, alternative music director, KUPS 90.1 FM"...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
"With fizzy pop melodies,punk riffs and boy-girl vocals more akin to the B52's than the Pixies,the debut from Kiss Her For The Kid- pilfering its name from a line in Bob Dylan's "If You See Her Say hello"- is cute, bouncy,and surprisingly legitimate. Prettier Than Me, The follow up to the 2006 EP "Gee", expels bratty pop-punk laced with pretty harmonies and shimmering guitars, especially on opener "High". "--- Katie Sauro (Seattle Sound Magazine).........
...............................................................................................................
"Hannah Roberts and Sean London share vocal duties over driving guitars and power melodies, reminiscent at times of a rougher Pretty Girls Make Graves, or a jagged Dressy Bessy."-
-------------xxxThree Imaginary Girlsxxx----------------------------------------------------------------" So this one time I wrote about Kiss Her for the Kid and I said something like "they're sorta dancey like the Dismemberment Plan, but with less funk and more punk." Well, I was sorta right. Now that the female-fronted local band has released a five-song EP titled Gee, I see that there's even more to Kiss Her for the Kid than that. Hannah Roberts's vocals summon the snottiness of Olympia's indie scene circa 1994 on some tracks ("West Coast Blues" and "Get Lost," especially), but then her voice gets a little soft and haunting like Mazzy Star on the ballad "A Story." When her voice is paired with Sean London's co-vocals, the effect sometimes sounds like the B-52s. And I can't help hearing a little Josie Cotton sneak through during "Boys in Bands." I could continue trying to compare them to other bands all day, but you're probably better off just going to the show and figuring it out for yourself." -MEGAN SELING( The Stranger)
