Listen to the T-Rex:

In celebration of their upcoming reunion shows I'm posting TK's 3 song demo. This demo was recorded live by Kyle Fischer of Rainer Maria, and features members of Football, Etc and Little Lungs. For fans of all the aforementioned bands. They are playing Feburary 12th at Meattown USA in New Brunswick and February 13th at Cedar Mansion in Brooklyn. "Tin Kitchen are three young ladies from the fertile grounds of New Brunswick, New Jersey. From the very beginning, I love the feeling this EP gives off. It's like the first time I heard Rainer Maria way back in the day. And funny thing is, Kyle Fischer from Rainer Maria recorded these three songs. Coincidence? I have no idea but the two bands share some definite similarities. Much like those earlier records from Rainer Maria, you can feel the raw emotion emanating from these songs. But, Tin Kitchen's songs are also a bit more off-kilter than Rainer Maria's more straightforward approach. Perhaps there is a bit of the Sleater-Kinney angularity at work there. For all the older folks (like myself), there are also some similarities to Boston emo band Jejune as well. But enough of the comparisons, Tin Kitchen are quite capable of standing completely on their own. These three songs were recorded live so the material possesses a rough, worn sheen. Frankly though, that only adds to band's charm. Tin Kitchen do so many things right...the melodies, the heart, the sincerity...it's all here. And it all makes for quite an impressive beginning." - Sound As Langauge
