Daily electricity to load your batteries

Band: LONELY LITTLE KITSCH
Who: Two-piece alt-rock band from Niagara, Canada featuring
vocalist Kristen Goetz and drummer Nolan Jodes. What started as
a way to pass the time during the pandemic, soon became a more
serious project as fully formed songs took shape.

New single: VICES

Goetz: “I had been playing around on a keyboard and came up with something
that felt catchy. Nolan immediately created a killer guitar riff based on that, I sang
a melody with it, and that was that! The bones and structure of the song came
together extremely quickly.

The song is about bad habits, and how we all have them. Some can be serious,
and some are innocent and fairly innocuous – and, in some cases, our vices are
other people. But no one is vice-less. “Vices” is about recognizing that, and coming
together and being open about it. Perfection is a farce. Let your freak flag fly!”

Jodes: “We’ve described it as Veruca Salt meets Jack White, with a little (a lot) of
Cobain in the bridge. But somehow it comes out sounding very LLK. It’s 3 minutes
of rock… hopefully that’s your Vice.”

TUTV: I’m sure perfect people don’t like rock ‘n’ roll and they are definitely
boring (in my experience that is). Two things you can’t say about LLK. They
know how to raise the sonic temperature, they know how to create a buzzing
fuzz and be totally cool at it at the same time.

Enter Vices, a grungy headbanger propelled by hammering vigorousness, some
edged Grohl riffs and exploding when the crashing chorus crushes in. Right in the
middle of the song and the video, vocalist Kristen Goetz, draws your attention with
her Shirley Manson-like vocal tone and her subtle moves.

For those freaks about to rock LLK salute you.

Get together now.
