THE KIN's rock/pop music is passionate, raw and poetic. The New York Times describes them as "bombastic," TimeOut NY calls their music "soulful," and Billboard claims, "The Australian siblings have a radiant gift for songwriting and performing...hearing their partnership is a humbling experience." Isaac remarks, "We play for the soul of it, the love of it and the need to do it." Thorry adds, "Our music comes from making those eloquent mistakes."
Their songs are featured on both commercial specialized programming (Q104.3 NY, 104.7 MA, WMMR) and independent radio (WZBC Boston, XM Radio). They are selling out box offices regionally from Boston to DC and have opened for such major touring acts as Bon Jovi, Men at Work, The Saw Doctors, P.U.S.A and Lez Zeppelin. With the help of Tower Records and independent stores across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, THE KIN have sold over 10,000 units on their own.
Twenty-thousand miles away from home, THE KIN are turning heads and making fans with their compelling live shows and solid songwriting. "We want people to be uplifted, to feel a heightened sense of self," says Isaac.
The Kin are going in to the studio in September 2008 to record for their next full-length album due out in 2009.

The Kin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll catch you when you fall, I've been here all along
I've been calling out your name
Its time you unravel the heart you tied so tight
It got ripped in the fray
Left by my side, you become light
Don't ever be afraid, you took me by surprise
Freed from disguise, it's written on the page
All the people stopped and stared
They said hey boy, you oughta love from your heart
Not from a broken mind
And all in all your worlds away
I was so scared to find the little boy inside
He said, die before you die
Left by my side, you become light
Don't ever be afraid, you took me by surprise
Freed from disguise, it's written on the page
You'll never be the same, never be the same
I adore by surprise, always be there for all to see tonight
When we fall, and we fall
You will know
With my word, in the world
You will go
Left by my side, you become light
Don't ever be afraid, you took me by surprise
Freed from disguise, it's written on the page
You'll never be the same, you'll never be the same
Left by my side, you become light
Don't ever be afraid, you took me by surprise
Freed from disguise, it's written on the page
You'll never be the same, never be the same
You'll never be the same, I'll never be the same
You'll never be the same

It's time for the singer to unravel the heart he's tied so tight - a heart that has been ripped in the fray. The man advises the singer to leave it by his side, and he will become light.
