"KIDS absolutely don't miss" Nels Hylton, BBC Radio 1

After cementing themselves with their wonderfully diverse initial offerings 'Alcohol & Cigarettes' and 'Settle Down' earlier this year, London-based outfit KIDS return to offer up a warm and sweeping new single, 'Night Bus' .
Opting for a more mellow and stripped-back aesthetic this time around, 'Night Bus' hones in on the more tender side of the band's genre-bending direction. Keeping much of the production focused on a humble acoustic guitar and serenading vocals throughout, their latest endeavour adds a sense of depth and brevity to their exciting repertoire to date.
Adding about 'Night Bus', they said, "'Night bus' is about those nights out that turn into nightmares. Relationship arguments that completely take over. Sometimes the best thing to do is to walk away. We wanted to capture the moment of getting on a cold lonely London bus as you reflect on how these bad experiences can turn into good memories."
Dealing with early breakups and growing up in the capital, KIDS' music tells the story of band leaders Beau Blaise and Alex Harvey, life-long friends who have written their debut EP 'Love and the City 1' out of their own stories of growth.
Having already established a devout fanbase from a string of live performances recently, including supporting Gang of Youths, appearances at Leopallooza (headlined by Metronomy and Sleaford Mods) The Great Escape and Live at Leeds Fest and gathering support from the BBC with plays on Radio 1 and Introducing by Nels Hylton and Jess Iszatt, not to mention John Kennedy at Radio X and the Student Music Network, KIDS are keen to get their music out into the world.
