I’ve written several times this year about
how much I love London band Kites. This includes their song ‘Brother’ making my 2011 Festive Fifty a
nd interviewing lead singer Matthew.
As seems to be the in thing, they have given away as a free track as a Christmas present. I genuinely think this track ‘Jumped Up Boy In Livery’ is as good as much of the rest of the stuff they have produced – and hop
efully they will make a major impact in 2012. I don’t think it’
s a Christmas song per se, but that doesn’t matter.
Lead singer Matthew had this to say :’Never before have I had the audacity to pen lyrics that are so indulgently self-pity
ing – and, for me, that’s sa
ying something. Let’s just say that it has b
een one of those months. Merry Christmas. Kites gift you ‘This Jumped-Up Boy In Livery.’
