KITE THIEF RELEASE NEW SINGLE ‘JUDGE JUDY & EXECUTIONER’ AND ANNOUNCE EP DETAILS
13th October 2023Kite Thief is 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 blends 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.
Fresh from blistering performances at the 2000 Trees Festival and Wildfire Festival and sharing stages with the likes of RXPTRS, Of Virtue, and InMe, Kite Thief will release their third single ‘Judge Judy & Executioner’ on the 13th October.

Elin – “This is probably my favorite song that we have ever written. It was the first song that we fully completed when we started writing again and during that time I was going through an awful breakup from a long-term relationship. I was confused, angry, and bitter and this song encompasses all of that. But it has been a huge part of my healing process and has come full circle and now it is just the most fun, energetic, and cathartic song to play live.”Ambiviolent EP pre-orders – https://kitethief.bandcamp.com/album/ambiviolent
