Doll & the Kicks are the firecracker of new British music. An indie-disco divinity, their unapologetic sound belongs to the dancefloor, while their eyes are firmly on the charts. Infused with a bright, charismatic snap, they add vibrant colour to a samey, familiar pop scene.
Fresh from last year’s Glastonbury Festival, where they played BBC’s Introducing stage, the Brighton-born 4-piece sparkle with indie-charged anthems and razor-sharp commercial acumen. The band – lead singer Doll, and her Kicks, Matt (guitar), Chris (drums) & Olivier (bass) – have toured the UK for 18-months, graduating from the Brighton music boom to become this year’s ultimate ones-to-watch.
Influenced by artists that include: Kate Bush, Cocteau Twins, The Knife, Blondie & Bloc Party, their dazzling, serrated sound is the real deal. A tour de force of incandescent electric guitars, femme-fatal vocals and rousing urban roar, it’s irresistible, forward-thinking indie-pop with the ghost of Martha & The Muffins - and then some.
For the last year and half they’ve cut their teeth at local shows, travelling around in a white van and roughing it, but it’s all paid off - 2007 has been their most successful year to date. For Doll & The Kicks, the time is now.

Sounds Like: Our New Video - take a peek.

"DATK are all attitude; radiating confidence, striking poses and delivering high quality, driven, eccentric pop. Singer Doll’s voice is a perfectly spotless hybrid of Kate Bush and Gwen Steffani. Her energy is frantic yet focused and she works the crowd like a pro." ARTROCKER

"Doll & The Kicks pull off some damn hard sugary rock that scratches like it’s the biggest bitch in the playground." THE SOURCE

"Full on feisty versatile firecracker of a band Doll and the Kicks confirmed to all and sundry that heavy can also be melodic, varied and fun. With bold time changes and glorious melodies Doll and the Kicks are never dull." BBC SOUTHERN COUNTIES.

"Brighton band with kooky girl singer who comes on like Lene Lovich, Kate Bush, Toyah and Wendy James all rolled into one. Commercially alluring , punky and catchy fare." LONDON BUGBEAR PROMOTIONS

"Doll bounces around the stage with the look and energy of a young Blondie....With floor-filling dance tunes such as Just 16, Always Been Her and Disco Queen, the music easily matches the glamour the band projects." ENTS24.COM

"Back up at The Park, the BBC Introcuding Stage was the place to be for emerging new talent, giving some of Britain’s hottest new talent the chance to play the legendary mudfest. Doll and the Kicks outshone the others, with a set of danceable indie rock tracks that sit nicely between the likes of Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Rapture.

Their all-too-brief set edged from the more frenetic tracks built over their strong rhythm section to the more vocally-driven Kate Bush-esque tracks but the best moments were when the two sides of the band came together during the last couple of numbers. Throwing countless shirts out to the crowd that squeezed under the undercover area to avoid the rain, the-four-guys-and-a-girl genuinely relished a festival experience they’ll be hoping to reprise in coming years."
