<p>The Kills are an indie rock band formed in 2001 by American singer Alison Mosshart, also known as "VV," and British guitarist Jamie Hince, known as "Hotel." With their unique blend of garage rock and blues influences, The Kills have gained a loyal following around the world. Known for their raw and energetic live performances, the duo has released several critically acclaimed albums over the years. Their music is characterized by Mosshart's powerful vocals and Hince's gritty guitar riffs. If you're a fan of alternative rock with a rebellious edge, The Kills are definitely worth checking out.</p>

Over their almost decade-and-a-half career, The Kills have released four records. Each one a restless, reckless enigmatic art statement that bristled with tension, anxiety, sex, unstudied cool and winking ennui, yet not one of them sounded like the previous one. Ash &amp; Ice is the follow up to 2011's critically lauded Blood Pressures and was five years in the making in part due to Jamie Hince's five hand surgeries, which resulted in him having to re-learn how to play guitar with a permanently damaged finger. It was during Hince's recuperation from surgery that he first started sketching out what would become the songs for the album. To shake up the writing process, Hince booked a solo trip on the infamous Trans-Siberian Express for inspiration while Alison Mosshart, now residing in Nashville, TN, wrote some of the most affecting, poetically candid lyrics that she ever has, painting word pictures that mine the dangerous terrain between romantic obsession, prophecy and tough love. Where previous albums had an air of detachment and emotional austerity, underpinned by an uneasy self-awareness and unexpressed anger, the 13 songs on Ash &amp; Ice are more understated, less tempestuous and more affecting because of that, exposing the kind of push-pull you feel when you find yourself in a complicated but all-consuming relationship. Ash &amp; Ice is The Kills at their emotionally charged, arresting best. Prepare to be slayed
