With four studio albums under their belt, including their latest release 'Blood Pressures', The Kills have gained critical acclaim and a cult following on both sides of the Atlantic.
The band's new single 'Future Starts Slow', released through Domino Records, is a burst of fresh energy from the band, mixing unrelenting drums, Jamie Hince's trade mark searing guitar sound and Alison Mosshart's vocals.
