Kill It Kid
Biography
Kill It Kid was a British blues-inspired five-piece formed at Bath Spa University in the UK (named after the Blind Willie McTell song Kill it Kid). The band split in 2015.
The band was fronted by the two-part harmonies of Chris Turpin and Stephanie Ward (now the duo Ida Mae). Turpin's voice was compared to Anthony Hegarty (of the Johnson's fame), whilst Ward's softer huskier tones provide the perfect foil. They play guitar and piano respectively, whilst Adam Timmins on bass and Marc Jones on drums provide the rhythm.

The band split in 2015, with Chris Turpin and Stephanie Ward creating a new band called Ida Mae. Meanwhile, drummer Marc Jones went on to drum for Reef, The Heavy, James Arthur and is full-time drummer for Band of Skulls.
