Boston's The Kitty Kill does this music thing right. Each member of this 3 piece all female band holds their own to create a strong, solid band that ROCKS--The Kitty Kill way. Read the whole thing...

At first listen I had a tough time forgiving the Kitty Kill for not being Sleater Kinney.
I love SK and they obviously love SK too. But, The Kitty Kill are also not, as I first
suspected, a poppy rip-off old-style angry-girl rock - just great music with unapologetic riffs.
I was happy to have "Secrets," a feisty and bitter melody, running through my head for days.
The fierce "It's all Over" is similarly addictive, and the sweet, sad ballad, "Answers" is a lovely
surprise - tucked in amid the driving beats of Plastic, It's a beautiful track that further proves
the Kitty Kill are intelligent musicians worthy of the pop jones. -H.G.

    Perhaps one of the most difficult things for me to do is review an album I really love. I never feel like I can conjure up the right words to express just how awesome I think the album is. Comprised of ex-members from Uncool Niece and Chelsea On Fire, this trio from the Boston area has the ability to make you drop everything and rock out right there, wherever you are. The lyrics are honest and unapologetic. I also love the instruments on this release. There are lots of heavy bass lines, feisty drumming and a sassy lead guitar.
    Plastic starts out with the string-driven "Maybe" (my personal favorite) which sets the edgy tone that is present throughout the remainder of the album. "It's All Over" is another strong track with a bitter but addictive sound that will stick in your mind for days. The girls really flex their musical muscles by picking up a lot of speed in the fast paced and hard edged "Could You?", but as quick as they pick up the speed, they drop it in favor of the sweet ballad style of "Answers", which closes the album up and will undoubtedly leave you misty-eyed. The Kitty Kill sort of reminds me of Sleater-Kinney, but not so much that I would confuse the two. If I ever had a band, this is what I would want it to sound like. If you know what's good for you, you'll make an effort take a listen to Plastic, you won't be disappointed. -Jessica O.

The aptly named Kitty Kill started things off ferociously with the perfect mix of sweet
harmonies and power chord assault. “You f*** rock!” yelled one overzealous fan toward the
end of the set-and he wasn’t far off… Luke O’Neil

Ready to rumble
While there may be little doubt that the cocksure Bleu is headed to the finals,
he's not getting there without a fight. The Kitty Kill is looking to wipe the floor with Bleu's
enormous mutton chops and then deposit the singer in the litter box as it moves on to rock 'n' roll
greatness. The all-female trio bangs out aggressive, punky pop.
