Album Notes

Kiss Her for the Kid released "Gee" out into the world in 2006.


"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)

"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----------------------------------------------------------------"
