K.Flay isn't messing around and with this Californian femme fatale what you hear is what you get. New single 'Blood In The Cut' is a viciously dark and spiky affair, filled with pain, pleasure and twisted attractions. Urgent and cathartic, it pounds like a heartbeat and shows off her own brand of punk that has an accessible twist. Part of her new Crush Me EP that is out now via Interscope / Polydor, she clearly has a chip on her shoulder but isn't afraid to own it. If this has piqued your intrigue, you can catch her live at Hoxton Bar and Kitchen on 6 September and we bet it'll be quite the show. - SJ
