"The Tweet Elite" - Neil Gaiman and She Makes War interviewed for BBC Entertainment, August 2010

“Disarm is a record that deserves to be heard by everyone” - Virgin Music

"Imagine appealingly grainy angst-pop à la Blood Red Shoes shot through in leftfield with the conceptual imagination of someone like Melissa Auf der Maur, and you’ll get somewhere close to She Makes War." - Wears The Trousers

"fantastically earthy, grungey alternative pop straight from the underground, like a crossbreed between the sounds of Nine Inch Nails, Carina Round and with a hint of the spirit of riot grrrl, but with a feisty, independent London edge" - The Disconnected

"bloody brilliant. Not only does she craft the most beautiful, ethereal and bizarrely addictive songs, but she is also in the process of making inspired accompanying videos for each track" - The Girls Are

Debut album "Disarm" was co-produced by Kidd and Myles Clarke (Belakiss, Sparkadia, Sneaker Pimps) and self released in September 2010, preceded by two singles - "Let This Be" and "I Am". The album was accompanied by four quirky handmade music videos directed/executive produced and edited by Kidd, starring a host of characters from zombie clowns to sleepy lions to intrepid penguins.

With personalised album packages turning up in towns and cities across the world, She Makes War promoted "Disarm" with a photo exhibition at art show Send Me A Postcard, Darling and a slew of London gigs including a coveted slot at Ladyfest 10 in November. She ended the year with a series of living room shows and slots at buzzy venues around the country on her "Winter War Megabus Tour", bringing the full force of SMW's one woman Telecaster-ukulele-vocal-looping extravaganza to small and large rooms alike. "Scared To Capsize" was also featured on BBC 6 Music.

In true punk rock DIY style Kidd is the creative force behind every aspect of this multimedia extravaganza, creating (and co-creating) the video content and microsites for each song on the album, designing merch and art directing photo shoots. Roping in friends like Laura Ward, Judy Jacob, Dina Karklina, Rege Page, Steph Hope, Kat Bax, Ben James and the boys from Djevara to bring their unique talents to the table, the sense of community shines through.

Recently dubbed a member of The Tweet Elite by the BBC in an interview placing Kidd alongside rockstar writer Neil Gaiman and described by Wears The Trousers as an artist with "the conceptual imagination of someone like Melissa Auf der Maur" , She Makes War is making waves. But hey, she has been known to dress up as a unicorn .

"Disarm" is released internationally on 11th July 2011.
