The Kills prep ‘Little Bastards’ rarities comp, share “Raise Me” video

The Kills have dug through their archives for Little Bastards, a compilation of b-sides, demos, and other rarities dating from 2002 - 2009. The title is both an affectionate term for the songs as well as the name Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince gave the drum machine they used in the early part of their career. "It was a Roland 880," says Jamie, "which isn’t strictly a drum machine – it's a sequencer, and an eight-track recorder, with its own drum machine built in, and that’s what we’d record all our beats on."

You can watch the new video for the 2009 demo of "Raise Me," and check out Little Bastards' tracklist and album art, below.

Little Bastards will be out December 11 via Domino.
