Los Angeles based band Kills Birds recently released their new single “Trace”, the third to be revealed from their forthcoming EP ‘Crave’ out April 11th via Lucky Number. The five track EP also features “Madison” and ferocious 2024 single and Kills Birds’ debut Lucky Number release “Behind“. The band have created a Pixies-inspired visualiser for “Trace” as a tribute to dogs, while the release is accompanied by the announcement of a new headline show at LA’s The Echo on May 24th.

Speaking on the new single, the band explains;“Trace is about falling in love—the infinite momentum and exhilaration that come with the early stages of a new connection. And while relationships inevitably evolve, fade, or even unravel, for us the song represents the rapture and joy inherent in both love discovered and love remembered.”
Produced by Aron Kobayashi Ritch (Momma, Been Stellar) the ‘Crave’ EP is the band’s first new music since 2021 sophomore album “Married”, and their debut release for Lucky Number.
Fronted by Nina Ljeti, a Bosnian Canadian filmmaker the Los Angeles Times called “L.A.’s most electrifying new rock singer,” Kills Birds’ renowned performances are truly visceral, with guitarist Jacob Loeb’s blistering riffs and Fielder Thomas’ pummelling basslines now rounded out with the addition of new fourth member, drummer Griffin Kisner. While 2019’s self-titled debut captured the promise of their grunge-inspired sound and Ljeti’s unflinching lyrics, sophomore 2021 release “Married” signaled a notable step up with the band recording at Dave Grohl’s Studio 606 with legendary producer Yves Rothman. Following the album’s release Kills Birds toured with Foo Fighters, Sleigh Bells, Shame and Viagra Boys. Now back with renewed vigour and an even more explosive sound, stay tuned for more music and announcements soon.
Kills Birds are Nina Ljeti (vocalist), Jacob Loeb (guitarist), Fielder Thomas (bassist), and Griffin Kisner (drummer).
