“Rebel Kites is a fitting name for a band that fell out of the sky and hit me on the head”
– Sean O’Leary (Indie Shuffle)

"Lovingly crafted, rich cinematic folk-scapes - The Witnessing is an impressive debut"
- Iain Lowery (John Peel Archive)

Things snowball. It didn't matter that a band of scruffy, bearded chaps and one unbearded woman were making a racket in living rooms and London venues, assembling a kaleidescope of musical influences on top of ex-electronic music producer Alex Story's songs of a nature kid living in a tough city. It didn't matter because the world at large couldn't hear it. So it started as a few live takes. Why not add a few drum parts? Then why not get the electric guitars in. Why not attack every instrument in sight with a violin bow. Why not craft it against their record collection favourites?

Then why not spend two years making it a reality, living on beans in a Hackney Wick warehouse?

London settles into winter of 2015, and Rebel Kites' EP The Witnessing is ready for you. It's birth was not unlike that of a human's birth: conceived after a night out, it spent a long time kicking in a dark room, and it's delivery was at times traumatic and bloody. Now the cinema is set between the mountainous roar of folk-rock toms, the intimacy of clustered picks, bows and whirring bells, the hypnotic drone of an organ and double-lead vocals, amalgamating in a piece for both speaker and the stage.

The Rebel Kites live show consists of an ensemble sharing over fifteen instruments on stage, and Rebel Kites' dynamic, visual live show has risen through the London circuit, as well as enjoying national BBC radio airplay. With the release of their EP, they look forward to a 2015 of doing what they do best - working their ass off to bring their musical cinema to the world.
