Kindness combines a fusion of hard rock, electronica and groove to create a new sound called "rocktronica". Fueled with loops and samples, the band delivers powerful performances charged with Passion. [Metro, San Jose]

This San Francisco trio features Dawn Richardson (drummer for 4 Non Blondes), Katharine Chase (Penelope Houston's Loners), and Carrie Baum (Soul Divine).

...Kindness, a compelling loop-laden trio. It's a great mix: Chase's powerful, passionate voice is compellingly offset by brawn guitar and dreamy, dance-friendly beats and loops in a way that invites Alanis and early-Sinead comparisons, but is refreshingly original and constantly compelling. [East Bay Express]

Taking a cosmic approach to electronic rock music, this San Francisco-based trio of notable women stars Katharine Chase (former bassist for Penelope Houston), Dawn Richardson (former drummer for 4 Non Blondes) and Carrie Baum (former guitarist with Soul Divine). Their second album is a generally upbeat offering of roctronica that dances between bouncy synth-pop and aggressive industrial sounds. Chase's smokey vocals are inviting in the harsh, sexy style of Chryssie Hynde with a little Concrete Blond thrown in. Kindness incorporates some unexpected instruments into its music, including horns and accordion! [METRO, 2000]
