Music Review: “The Luring” by Pixikill

It is hard to find a band with both killer vocals and intense instrumentals, but that is exactly what Pixikill has. The Luring is Pixikill's debut E.P. that features five up-tempo tunes. Blaire and Jewel Restaneo, the lead singers, want their E.P. to be something girls can relate to. Their music is full of energy and leaves you wanting more. Fans of Avril Lavigne and The Veronicas will love this amazing band.
One of the main reasons I liked The Luring was that I could relate to the topics PixiKill sings about. As teen girls themselves, Jewel and Blaire are dedicated to penning lyrics from personal experience. This E.P speaks about a broad range of issues to which teenage girls can relate, whether it's something serious like depression, something overwhelming like fitting in, or something fun like a crush. The Luring has music any girl can identify with.
Blaire and Jewel's vocal range captivated me throughout the album and their passion for music is obvious. This synth-infused electro-pop grunge music is anything but dull. The Luring is a musical punch to the guts with cutting-edge vocals.
No music library is complete without Pixikill's first E.P. Pixikill is a band whose music speaks directly to teens through thumping beats and dramatic melodies. Once you start listening to this five-song E.P. you crave more Pixikill. Don't worry though, the band plans on releasing a full-length album this fall! The Luring is a fantastic debut E.P that does just what its title says: it lures you in!

Amazing review! These girls are awesome singers and I love this article. Teen Voices....your music reviewers are very talented!
Hey hey,
The first time I head of the band Pixikill I was at a slumber party with my girls Chrysta, Marigold and Ivory. We were jamming out to music and just dancing around when an eerie pop song started blaring through Ivory's ipod. I was addicted to the sound.....it was Pixikill! They are such cool girls. Thanks for writing a review of their music. This review is VERY well done and I lie the way you really describe the music! All around A +++++++++ for writing style!
Best wishes,
