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 its diverse influences with the spice of disrupting & confronting toxic social norms. Providing a melting pot of intoxicating melodies, pummelling rhythms, & unrelenting riffs the band forges a captivating vibration that you can’t help being absorbed by. Influenced by Spiritbox, Holding Absence, and Vukovi, Kite Thief’s music invites the listener to face their darkness, 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. Come in and take a bite, we know you’ll like it.
