Sounds Like
“Grand and orchestral even when they're playing in the basement of Lit…color me impressed!” —Vice Magazine
“Yes, we said "rousing" to begin this profile of Kittens Ablaze, but I think it's perhaps more fitting to end with "joyful." Kittens Ablaze are rousingly joyful. You heard it here.” —Oh My Rockness
"Hilarious name aside, even PETA members should enjoy these Brooklynites." —New York Magazine
"One of the finest bands to emerge so far this century." —Dandelion Radio, UK
"Listen up kids, for seriousness, Kittens Ablaze is talented. This is one of those groups that you really want to hear now so that later on when everyone and their grandmother is talking about how killer their sound is you can say that you knew them when (and actually be being honest for a change)." —Starved Magazine
"Drawing comparisons to Ra Ra Riot, Defiance Ohio, Arcade Fire, Cursive, and the Pixies can never be a bad thing. In fact it's working quite nicely for Brooklyn's Kittens Ablaze...an emerging six-piece indie-punk garage band that features piano, cello, violin, bass, and guitar that circle a lead singer/drummer like paganistic sundancers at a bonfire."—Salad Days Music
"It is a manic clusterf*ck of dance-punk-folk that sounds like what might happen if Defiance, Ohio moved to New York City and started gettin' busy in the club scene...a highly enjoyable and welcome addition to my collection (or yours)" —Can You See the Sunset From the Southeside?
"Kittens Ablaze are a highly passionate, enormously energetic, and lyrically fun indie rock group, whose unique and raw sound alone separate them from most others coming out of Brooklyn these days." —Consequence of Sound
"[The EP] is full of ideas, bristling with confidence...it's the sort of really promising demo that should have any record exec pricking up his ears..." —Song, By Toad
"The six-piece play music like it's meant to be played. Their raw energy and passion comes across in almost every song and leaves you with an overwhelming sense of urgency and excitement." —Panda Toes
“The Monstrous Vanguard isn’t simply a collection of songs. Its creators have vision, whether tackling mortality or politics. New music is often complacent or apathetic; its refreshing to hear a band with something to say.” — Charlotte Observer
Glad you like, def will let you know. I love the music and its awesome seeing you guys play. The energy is great. When/where are you playing for CMJ this week?

The Darkest Night Picks up the Story on the eve of the Battle.
A restless mind cannot sleep with the thoughts of what must take place. The insanity of the whole thing ripps our Hero's heart and mind in two wondering
what is right what is wrong and why this evil must come .......
