Since 2002, The Kills have released five studio albums, four extended plays, nineteen singles, sixteen music videos, a documentary, and have contributed original material to two compilations. The Kills debuted in 2002 with the Black Rooster EP, released on Domino Records. The duo's debut full-length album, Keep on Your Mean Side, was released the following year. The album peaked at number 47 on the United Kingdom Albums Chart, while the single "Fried my Little Brains" peaked at number 55 on the UK Singles Chart.[1] The Kills followed up with No Wow in 2005 and Midnight Boom in 2008, both of which were also released on Domino.

gollark: It's free as long as you're screaming, yes.
gollark: Besides, the most efficient way to heat your house is to buy old servers and run some computationally intensive tasks on them.
gollark: Also, "old Android" connectors are micro USB and "new Android" is USB-C, if it helps with getting connectors or whatever at all.
gollark: All USB host things are (meant to be) 5V, but there are optional standards for negotiating higher power.
gollark: <@617750798960558091> I suppose you probably found out by now, but USB is 5V by default with a gazillion power delivery standards.
