Halifax, Canada's Kilmore are gearing up
for the release of their new EP "From
The Inside" at the end of March. It's six tracks of
groovy, stoner rock with metal elements. Its lyrics were written at a time when
there was a real change around the world and an internal bittersweet struggle.
Along with that, vocalist/guitarist Heather Harris became a new mother and was
trying to find her place in a new reality really speaks loudly in the emotions
on the record. Some themes are of destruction while others of hope, each song
has its own theme/feel. For the EP's recording, Kilmore worked with producer
Jon Landry, the band explains further:
"It was an altered experience for us recording this EP.
Working with producer, Jon Landry, helped us craft the best version of the
songs. We recorded it in our basement studio and took the time needed to form
the songs and bring life to the recordings. Musically, some songs came out
easier than others, and some needed more time to capture the essence that we
were looking for. Overall, we feel we created a variety of soulful psychedelic
stoner rock that brings expressions of escapism and explorations."
Listening to these selected
six songs, the band offers up an unearthing of realities in life through sounds
and wanting to create something new. Featuring magnetically emotive passages
contrasted against assaults of groove-forward aggression, the band conveys
themes surrounding rebirth, love, hate, frustration, understanding, and the
search for truth to permeate their darker-edged sonic palette.
"This EP, in our opinion, is our best work to date and we
are thrilled to release it to the world.” adds vocalist/guitarist Heather Harris.
Today, the quartet unveils
their next single
“Firestone" accompanied by a music video. The song is
about feeling broken and alone and looking for the light through the darkness.
This was an old song the band rehashed when drummer Jon MacIsaac joined the
lineup. The song locked in the right direction lyrically with the new groove
and the band felt they have created a fierce and intense track. The video was
filmed after a snowstorm and showcases a magnificent Canadian winter.

About: Kilmore
finds its roots deep in influence from two siblings who immigrated from Newry,
Northern Ireland at an early age to Vancouver, BC, and eventually to Halifax,
Nova Scotia. Two new Canadians growing up in the nineties, finding their
musical diet of grunge to surpass the time.
Fast forward to 2013, sister
and brother Heather Harris (vocals, guitars) and Dan Doran (guitars) formed
with the addition of Neil Spence (bass) and Lor Sangster (drums) to the original
lineup. Sangster was later replaced in 2019 by Jon MacIsaac (drums) from local
bands Chosen Lung, Burdened, Earth Alter to complete the current lineup.
Dark, aggressive, brawny, and
haunting, Kilmore is recommended for
fans of Royal Thunder, Baroness, Windhand, and The Damn Truth.
