Kite Thief is a high-voltage expanse of catharsis; an ecstatic space of rage, and a playful moment in time to lose yourself, without fear. Emanating from Bristol, the five-piece blends their diverse influences with the spice of disrupting & confronting toxic social norms. Their melting pot of intoxicating melodies, pummelling rhythms, & unrelenting riffs forges a captivating vibration that you can’t help being absorbed by. Influenced by the likes of Spiritbox, Holding Absence, and Vukovi, Kite Thief’s music invites the listener to face their darkness, whilst simultaneously empowering through acceptance, understanding, love, and having as much fun as possible! Trailblazing through the UK scene, Kite Thief leaves a sweet but gritty taste in every city they call upon.
Fresh from blistering performances at the 2000 Trees Festival and Wildfire Festival, sharing stages with the likes of RXPTRS, Of Virtue, and InMe, the band have released the single ‘The Tide’. The band also announce signing to Year Of The Rat Records. The single starts the next phase for the band which promises to grab your attention!
Discussing the track, band member Elin shares, ‘When we were writing ‘The Tide’, I don’t think I realized how much this song was a cry for help. It’s such an energetic, in-your-face song and I was so angry at this point in my life that I honed in on a very cutthroat approach to life. I had just gone through a huge, very tough breakup and was having one of the lowest points in my life and with time, now it’s finally released, I think I have accepted that anger and turned it into power.
