Ska-edged pop punksters Kids Can't Fly release their Northern Horizons EP this week and play at Make A Scene Festival this weekend!!
They may be a newish name on the UK scene, but they have wasted little time in steamrollering themselves into an enviable position. The sextet (each of whom is 6 foot plus!) play a unique brand of uplifting hard edged pop-punk with a distinct English twist and, of all things, a horn section!
Famed for frenzied beat downs, feel good horn lines, and huge harmonies the guys have been likened to an "English Fall Out Boy" and "Four Year Strong with horns"
Lead Single 'Stick To Your Guns' is a prime slab of danceable crunch. Bouncing along on a colossal melody and insanely catchy chorus it is a supremely awesome track. It's accompanying video is soon to be all over Kerrang TV and has had over SIX THOUSAND views on YouTube. Check it out for yourself
In their short existence (the band turned 'serious' in early 2011), Kids Can't Fly have achieved high profile shows with the likes of The Blackout, Young Guns, Zebrahead and Less than Jake in the UK and Europe, as well as having festival appearances at Make A Scene and Takedown!
Indeed the band's growing profile and status is clearly reflected in their growing list of endorsements. Not many young UK acts can boast backing from the likes of Marshall Amps, Orange Amps, Shine Drums, Ernie Ball, Jim Dunlop, Audix, Big Deal & Paint The Stars Clothing and custom horns from John Packer Ltd!!
The Northern Horizons EP looks set to further enhance the sextet's reputation. Recorded at the legendary Monnow Valley (Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Biffy Clyro) and produced by Welsh rock producer Romesh Dodangoda (Kids In Glass Houses, The Blackout, Funeral for a Friend), it has a crystal clear sound just begging to be pumped out from your car stereo with the windows wound down.
Co-lead vocalist Robin Black (a support worker for teenage boys with severe social and learning difficulties) says of Northern Horizons - "The record speaks of self acceptance, pulling up your socks and moving forward in life and in love. It's about being positive."
This is feel-good music with heart, soul and, make no mistake, balls!
