New Music: Kill Chicago Solidify Their Sound and Break out the Fireworks on ‘The Fix’
Four years after the release of their album The Grey, The Fix is the mature release of Fredericton’s Kill Chicago. More than simply a sophomore effort, the album has the band dishing out their usual brand of protest song, now through the lens of parenthood.
