The fact that Kitch, whose name comes
from a quote by Jarvis Crocker , point out The Cure and New Order as their
major influences should not shock anyone who's listened to their
latest track. It Happened Under This Roof has
the homogeneous quality that rocketed Robert Smith and co into the
spotlight, featuring vocals being projected along with an unsettling
yet eerily enjoyable rhythm. This makes for a great rack,
managing to showcase the talent of Dan Johnston (Vocals and Guitar),
Paul Band (Guitar and Keys), Blair Hoggan (Bass), Conor Donegan (Keys
and Guitar) and Blair Fowler (Drums).
Social media has helped to kick-start
multiple careers in music, most notably the Arctic Monkeys who were
the first major band to have benefited from the internet. Kitch have
noticed this, wisely making the decision to stream their music on
Soundcloud meaning their psychedelic music is available to over 200
million listeners. “Thanks to Soundcloud we managed to get the slot
at Kendall Calling that's helped people notice us, even high profile
musicians like Tim Burgess have gave us a listen.”
This success hasn't stopped any
ambitions for the West Lothian boys though. “We're hoping to get our music put on Spotify, we've had a few offers here and
there to get our stuff properly recorded so we're looking forward to
seeing what happens there.” As well as this there's an upcoming EP
that's sure to satisfy fans of their work. “The songs are ready to
go, we're just looking at where to get them recorded and then it
should be on its way.” With plans on branching out in terms of
touring, Kitch is a name you should definitely look out for.
