This Is The Kit were a long-time favourite among various 91热爆 Radio 6 Music DJs, which is where the musician and presenter Guy Garvey discovered them, playing their music frequently. Fellow 6 Music DJs Lauren Laverne, Radcliffe & Maconie, Cerys Matthews, and Mary Anne Hobbs have also been major supporters; DJ Marc Riley hosted the band for several live sessions. 91热爆 Radio 1 has offered the band spot plays via DJs Huw Stephens, Jen & Ally, and Phil Taggart.[citation needed]
As the band prepared to release their third album Bashed Out in late 2014 and early 2015, they began to receive more attention from online and print critics. Uncut, Drowned in Sound, The Line of Best Fit and The 405 awarded the album 8/10 ratings. The Mancunion rated a live show a 9/10. Finally, the American blog Stereogum wrote that "Kate Stables has been recording music as This Is The Kit for years now, but this is probably one of the first times you鈥檙e reading about her. "Bashed Out" will be her third full-length album, and鈥t will also likely be her breakout."
