Black Kids

The Black Kids are currently touring the globe with Cut Copy, but with the release of their first full-length debut just over the horizon, it's time everyone gets familiarized with this promising band. On their Ep, The Wizard of Ahhhs, The Black Kids put out some guitar driven pop/electronica that's reminiscent of The Cure. Don't get me wrong though, The Black Kids are very upbeat and never reach the same levels of morbid depression that The Cure make seem so routine. Hits like "I'm not gonna teach your boyfriend how to dance" and "Hurricane Jane" are accessible to anyone, making Reggie Youngblood and Co.'s upcoming release so exciting. Pick up their Ep on itunes, or check out myspace for some really good remixes of their top songs, as well as all the originals. I'll have more on these guys when their album is properly released. Keep an eye out for The Black Kids touring in your city, they're a really good band to catch live.  Above is their first official music video, it's really weird, but the song's good.
