British summertime has been very gracious so far; perfect beach weather, Pimm’s o’clock by the jar, beer gardens packed to full capacity and even football came home to England! But what’s all this without the perfect summer tunes?
London based trio Johnny Kills – made up of Cameron Gipp and brothers, Tim and Lewis Lloyd-Kinnings – are making their first major move of the year with the release of new single “Who’s Counting?.” The song sees the band distance from early punkier roots and brings a new era of surf-glam (as they like to refer to the new direction) echoing the likes of FIDLAR, Wavves and Dandy Warhols. While the music contains more pop elements than before, the bursting energy and quirky guitar sound still remains the signature quality of Johnny Kills as they try to navigate through the tangled emotions and thoughts of a budding relationship.
“It’s about meeting a great new person and ridiculously overthinking every aspect that this entails, internally focusing on this quasi-freak-out rather than enjoying and appreciating the new relationship for what it is,” says songwriter and vocalist Tim Lloyd-Kinnings.
Along with the release of “Who’s Counting?” Johnny Kills also announced their signing to Killing Moon Records, joining Annabel Allum and Beach Riot on the roster.
