Jamie Hince claims break-up from supermodel wife Kate Moss has negatively impacted his music career and made people 'not like' his band The Kills
Most bands would kill for the number of hits The Kills get when they post a new single online.
But the media frenzy around the band's comeback, along with attention on the breakdown of his marriage to Kate Moss, has garnered the wrong sort of interest in the band according to Jamie Hince.
The 47-year-old musician told i News, 'All it's done is made people who I could have told in advance they're not going to like my band, listen to a song and then say: 'This is s**t!''

Negative comments: The media frenzy around The Kills comeback, along with the interest in the breakdown of his marriage to Kate Moss, has garnered the wrong sort of interest the band according to Jamie Hince
After five years in the wilderness, Jamie and band-mate Alison Mosshart, 37, are set to release a much hyped new album - Ash and Ice - in June.
But so far, the guitarist and vocalist has not been impressed with a lot of the feedback his music has received online.
'If you go on YouTube and look at the likes on our videos, we've got an amazing amount of thumbs down.'

'I think that's all those people who are checking us out because they've seen me in the paper going: 'This is s**t!' Then again, we did say at the start that we wanted to be a polarising band of idiots.'
Being married to Kate Moss - one of the most photographed women in the world - has only increased the interest in the band's music.
And the couple's high profile split last year, and impending divorce will only add to the attention.
It was recently reported that Jamie was to cite adultery as the grounds for divorcing Kate, who has been linked to Count Nikolai von Bismarck, 29 since their split.

Earlier this year The Sun reported that Jamie was ‘biding more time’ before he starts the alleged divorce proceedings, with friends of the rocker claiming he is furious about the model’s new reported romance.
‘Jamie cannot believe how blatant Kate’s relationship has been,’ an insider told the publication.'
‘They have been photographed together a lot. He is keeping some of the pictures and planning to use them when the couple divorce.’

Kate also lives with 13-year-old Lila Grace, her daughter from her previous relationship with magazine publisher Jefferson Hack.
