PledgeMusic is a direct-to-fan platform where recording artists fund their projects and nominate to support a charity of their choice.

PledgeMusic helps artists and bands design a specifically tailored fundraising campaign to raise money for their next release. Pledge encourages the artists to participate with their fans in an exciting and unique way by creating an irresistible menu of exclusive content and experiences.

The list can be anything from DJ-ing at your house party, to attending a rehearsal, or even a movie and dinner with the band!

There is no risk to you as your money will only be taken once the artist’s target amount has been raised, and Team Pledge will keep you informed of the project’s status every step of the way.

Currently the hugely talented Kill It Kid are raising money for the Pink Ribbon Foundation, check them out:

Kill It Kid – http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/killitkid

Signed just 12 weeks from inception to legendary indie label, One Little Indian, following a John Parish (PJ Harvey) produced EP; Kill It Kid hit Ryan Hadlock’s (The Gossip, Johnny Flynn) Seattle studio to lay down their début album – later critically appraised across the board (“An Outstanding British Record 9/10” Clash Magazine. XFM New Music Award finalists, alongside The XX & Florence).

Life on the road, coupled with a misguided ‘nu-folk’ tag, pushed the band towards a new, dirtier, blues inspired sound. Recent single ‘Pray On Me’ proved grittier than anything prior, marrying a punishing riff a la Black Keys to Turpin’s anguished howl – and the band promise the forthcoming album – recorded with producer Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno, Brett Anderson) – to be ‘raw, inelegant and untainted’. Now off One Little Indian they are attracting the attention of new record labels throughout the world.

Kill It Kid have been invited on their first ever tour of the US, which is a huge boost in getting their music out to more people, not to mention a life-long dream. They we will be supporting the fantastic ‘The Heavy’ on a mammoth month long tour, covering a host of major cities. As celebration of this fact Kill It Kid are going to release a very special Rarities EP ahead of the tour with a bunch of early and unheard music and more excitingly brand new demos which they are currently working on for the new studio Album.

To make life easier for everyone Kill It Kid have decided to team up with PledgeMusic to deliver the music to YOU first, plus a whole lot more. Here, you can pre-order the new EP, or choose from a number of other exclusive items listed. Your pledge will unlock access to a stream of exclusive updates…. videos, photos, blogs….and all of this bonus material will be available ONLY on Pledge!

Kill It Kid (aka Marc, Chris, Stephanie & Dom) thank you for your support!
