Kinetic Stereokids Announce Second Release and Tour

Kid Moves, the sophomore release by Kinetic Stereokids will street March 17 on Overdraft recordings. The lead single is “Have A Nice Day.”


A second video “Twisted Thoughts” is in production via Detroit-based filmmaking duo James Petix and Sarah Babila (upcoming Detroit garage rock documentary It Came From Detroit.
)

“If you like those Broken Social kids or Arcade Fire kids, I think you’ll really like these Kinetic Stereokids.” [We Heart Music]

“…a particular kind of post-rock from a post-industrial city … Imagine if DJ Shadow were into noise rock, if the Dead Milkmen rapped, or if My Bloody Valentine composed purely with found sounds” [KEXP Blog]

“...guitar-based music for listeners who have become accustomed to having their music spiced up with samples… But unlike some bands that over-rely on the sample, these guys share an extremely musical sensibility that suffuses each element with little handmade sonic easter eggs... hard-won skills” [Wired]
