Being described by the NME as "Dave Grohl's favourite band" and by Kim Gordon as "Hot as fuck", you'd expect a certain amount of baggage to come with new grunge band Kills Bird. Not so though. Straddling ground previously occupied by Hole and the Distillers, the band (and front woman Nina Ljeti) have the kind of ease and confidence that we've also seen in recent years from Australia's Press Gang and New Zealand's Miss June. 'Cough Up Cherries' is an impressive early track, a calling card of sorts that promises much but which also delivers in and of itself. Watch this space.
