Violent Kin — Bitter Blood

in
By Bianca Marcus (CHARTattack) July 2, 2009 3:10 pm
Their old group The Blood Lines may have disbanded, but brother-sister duo S.J. and Maygen Kardash are continuing the family theme with their new project, Violent Kin. Their debut album, Bitter Blood, draws on more influences than its simple "pop" tag on iTunes suggests, combining electro with garage rock, acoustic and even funk. The...

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) February 28, 2011 4:00 pm
Here's another tune from Violent Kin's Velvet Hideout EP, which came out in October. This track, much like the four-song EP in general, draws from '80s influences like Tears For Fears, Michael Jackson, Depeche Mode, Siouxsie And The Banshees and more. You can check out the title track to Velvet Hideout over here, and the video for the EP's "Keep...

Siblings Maygen and S.J. Kardash definitely live up to their Violent Kin moniker in their video for "Keep Your Balance." In it, Maygen's seen dragging S.J. through a cemetery to bury him, but all of a sudden he comes back to life and starts jamming it out on the guitar! By the end of the clip, things have kinda changed for his sister. "Keep Your...

Song Of The Day: Violent Kin's "Velvet Hideout"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) September 2, 2010 10:30 am
Violent Kin continue with the punky dance rock that marked their 2009 Bitter Blood debut album with their new EP, Velvet Hideout, except this time they've thrown in even more over-the-top elements. The EP's full of Genesis-esque dance rock, and is one step away from being prog. The title track best represents this, beginning with a dancey...

Background/Composition: Violent Kin's Maygen and S.J. Kardash are kin — siblings, in fact. But don't let the other part of their band name fool you. They're very friendly and gracious and showed no destructive tendencies at all. You might remember them from their former group, The Blood Lines. Grade: 86 Comment: Violent Kin weren't originally...
