Dec 15, 2020While many, such as the swirling pop of “Blue Moon,” and the melodic ballad “I Call It Art,” don’t fit the general tone of the average Kills album, none of the songs sound like filler. Each of these Bastards earns its spot on the album as a fine representation of the eclectic influences of the band.

Dec 15, 2020Though a round-up such as this technically shines a light on a group of tracks that, at their simplest, weren’t good enough to make it onto a studio album, ‘Little Bastards’ doesn’t feel that way.

Dec 15, 2020Not only does Little Bastards get at everything that makes the Kills equally enduring and inventive, it's a lot of fun, too.

Dec 16, 2020It’s energetic, diverse, raw and full of the forward- thinking chemistry and cool that The Kills are notorious for.

Dec 15, 2020Slower-paced tracks such as “I Call It Art” and “Blue Moon,” while not quite as bombastic and sharp, sound more like precursors to the sophisticated rock heard on the band’s 2016 release Ash & Ice. The rest of the album’s 12 tracks may not be worth the price of admission, but in this age of streaming we don’t have to worry about that.
