The wait is finally over, and now we can all plug into the unbridled energy of the highly anticipated debut album by The Kilograms. ‘Beliefs & Thieves’ captures the spirit of bands like The Clash and The Replacements – it’s raw, unapologetic, and has a philosophy. “And maybe do some good along the way.” – Joe Gittleman (bass &vocals) in a recent interview with The Boston Globe. There’s an authenticity to The Kilograms that is built on leaving everything on the stage, being a megaphone for marginalized groups in their community, actively shutting down hate and fascism, and ultimately wanting to leave the room a little brighter than when they got there.
If you’re not familiar with The Kilograms, the band includes Joe Gittleman (The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Avoid One Thing), Michael McDermott (ex-The Bouncing Souls, Joan Jett), Sammy Kay, J Duckworth (Newport Secret Six), and the newly added Craig Gorsline. Their debut album, ‘Beliefs & Thieves’, was recorded by Pete Steinkopf of The Bouncing Souls and mixed by Paul Kolderie (Pixies, Radiohead, Morphine). You can preorder ‘Beliefs & Thieves’ from Rad Girlfriend Records and the band’s own recently minted label, Weights and Measures.
