Factory Kids

About Me



Formed in 2008, Factory Kids are musician/artist Christina Marie (formerly of The Modern Hour/Audn) and singer/songwriter Tim Chaplin (solo/Luminous). Their first release, a track called "Dazzle", was released on the Unexplainable Recordings label's Fall 2008 cassette boxset, Unexplainable Forever. They rounded off the year by giving away a free Christmas song, "Father Christmas Still". 2009 began with another release, "Don't Meet No One", on the 16th volume of Series Two Records' CD-R compilations. Factory Kids' self-titled debut album is out now on Powertool Records...
