About Me

Kids in Cars current line up has been around for just over a year now. Taking time to carefully define their sound, seeing if it fits, like a nice cloth cap, or toasty warm beanie. They think they've now found 'that' sound. A sound that is essentially rock, with elements of everything they listen to neatly entwined as one.-------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------Amongst many others they've recently played shows with Ra Ra Riot, The Answering Machine, Model Horror, The Parletones, Great Eskimo Hoax, The Volt and are down to support Nine Black Alps at Leicesters Musician. KIC also be supporting Tellison and Tubelord as part of Leicesters Summer Sundae Fringe Festival down at Firebug. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------May 09 sees the official release of their forthcoming Ep 'Blimey, Crumbs!' recorded and produced in deepest Leicestershire with ex Kyte member, Jamie Ward. Catch KIC in June at the Party at Pennbury Festival---------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------Kids in Cars are Dom, Laura, Jon and James..."we don't know where we're going...we can't see out of the car"KIDS IN CARS - SPECIES OF APE, Alfrescoustical MyGen Profile Generator

Kids in Cars like to throw it all into a blender and then slurp the results____________________________________"Epic Clap your Hands Say Yeah style twisted indie pop" The Wolf Party 09________________________"An intelligent, well-constructed sound that sits nicely left of centre and smacks of originality. Vocally Diff is like a mix of Thom Yorke and James Walsh; a fragile, tender yet powerful voice". SU 08________________________"well-written, intelligent and aching with emotion.
