Bristol’s Kite Thief have released their new single “Shush” ahead of the release of their debut EP Ambiviolent on 15 December via Year Of The Rat Records.

Kite Thief are 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 blend 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. Come in and take a bite, we know you'll like it.

Vocalist Elin said of the single:

“Shush is the ultimate embodiment of wanting what you can't (or maybe shouldn't) have. It encompasses all the sweet lies I would tell myself and my partners whilst trying to justify our situationships, the eraticness I felt because I yearned for their touch and their affection and all the promises I would make to try to convince them and myself otherwise. It really outs my self-sabotaging behaviour, and maybe now it is out in the world, I can put all that behind me.”

The band are also pleased to announce a co-headline UK tour with Exit Child in May. This is in addition to the band’s UK headline tour in Feb / March.
