Sounds Like: "If there's a poster-band for the all ages scene in Seattle, Kids and Animals is it. They sound like someone who has been around the scene for years. There's an intriguing proggy aspect to their songs - they've got this sort of earnest pop punk songwriter thing going on. The melodies are catchy without being too repetitive."
- Seattle Weekly

"With justice, Kids and Animals will be one of the next big things in Seattle... In my world they already are."
- Back Beat Seattle

"Every song they play is driven by powerful passion. They may be young in age, but their sound is beyond their years and similar to that of The Honorary Title."
- Redefine Magazine

"Kids and Animals is definitely a collection of talented and intelligent artists."
- KEXP

"Maybe the reason I like them is because they sound like the band I would've wanted to have when I was a kid and first started listening to Modest Mouse and Built to Spill and all that."
- The Stranger // Band of the Week

"They have some of the cleanest leads, warm vocals, and catchy riffs that you could slap on an indie-rock band."
- Seattle Show Gal

“Pop sensibility and technical precision are two qualities that this little band has in spades. Their result sounds innovative and interesting but still approachable, giving Kids and Animals a chance to make it just as big as the bands they admire.”
- Seattle Weekly

"If The Hold Steady was more energetic and combined with a matured version of your favorite old-school punk band, they would be Kids and Animals. The vocals sound like the singers just woke up, smoked a cigarette, and performed. Sexy."
