Song of the Day: The Kut- I am Vain



Words were written by Anselm Anderson


The Kut are a Punk Rock act formed by the alter ego of  Multi-instrumentalist solo artist Princess Maha with Diana Bartmann ( Drums) and Bassist Stella Vie.

The trio has been creating a buzz with several appearances at major festivals and touring regularly, which includes Download and Camden Rocks that has resulted in them gaining major exposure in national newspapers and radio stations too. The Kut released debut album Valley Of the Thorns last April via Cargo Records to critical acclaim, reaching number 7 on the UK Rock Charts. I had the pleasure to review the first track off that album  " Hollywood Rock 'N' Roll" last year, which you can read at the bottom of this article. " I Am Vain " is the new single from it.

The track starts off with the typical raunchy distorted riffs the band tends to produce. The high tempo energy of the trio's sound resonates within the ears to create a sound that comes as no surprise why the band has been so successful. The punky edge and pop-laden hooks feel confrontational as they snarl relentlessly in your face. The lyrical content and attitude is a throwback to 90's grunge bands, with nasal vocals and crunchy guitar riffs. The excellent drumming and guitar solos underlie the band's collective talents as a unit described as " a neat twist of grunge pop"

" Valley Of Thorns" is available now via Cargo records and all good Music Platforms.
