Although they have been compared to bands such as Ra Ra Riot, Cursive, and The Decemberists, Kittens Ablaze has managed to set itself apart. The band’s inspiring and emotionally-charged songs are built upon its members’ unwavering vision, making their music much more than a simple “collection of songs.” The Monstrous Vanguard serves as proof that the members of Kittens Ablaze not only have something important to say to the world, but that they have discovered an effective and exciting way to say it.

The six-piece indie-rock group featuring a violin, cello, and a drumming lead singer, possesses all of the components that make for a great band—talent, passion, energy, and a strong message to send to listeners. The band’s sound has been described as“grand” and “orchestral,” and with lyrics that are heartfelt and sincere, it’s hard to ignore what the band has to say.
