Black Kids

Theres load of hype comin out of indie tossers mouths about this band from Jacksonville, Florida at the moment, and UK tour dates with Kate Nash and Sons and Daughters will certainly fuel this further. But does first EP "Wizard of Ahhh's" live up to this hype? First impressions werent great (i dont think the recordings do it much justice) but after a few listens found myself really getting into it. Its cutesy-synthy-indie-pop (everyones fave..) but i think the songs have more going for them than most of that "genre". Songs such as "Hit the Heartbrakes" and "Hurricane Jane" are particular high points and are actually really well written pop tunes. Whether this EP is the best they can come up with or whether they go from strength to stength remains to be seen but im certainly looking forward to a full length LP.
Believe the hype? possibly...
