Oh. I asked if I could review Black Kids and now here we are. It's radio indie pop but done very, very well. Swirling euphoric keyboard, baggy drums, air punching vocals, Go! Team cheerleader backing vox, classic ad-libs like mid 80s Cure, this is an absolutely great song. It makes me think a little bit of late period James crossed with New Radicals. I can see why there's a buzz about these as 'I'm not gonna teach your boyfriend how to dance with you' is an iresistable slice of youthful Springtime joy that is guaranteed to put a grin on anyones face, and get this. i think it's got staying power. Limited 12" on white vinyl, 7" on pink (THIS FORMAT MAY HAVE SOLD OUT BY THE WEEKEND) & CDs

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Black Kids have been caught in a whirlwind of exciting, encouraging and
head-fuzzing media attention in recent months and whilst many can start the
hype machine turning; very few have the songs, the style, the humour and the
unashamed pop sensibilites of this bunch.

The Black Kids hail from Jacksonville, Florida and comprise of brother /
sister Reggie and Ali Youngblood who sing and play guitar and keys
respectively, Dawn Watley also on keys and vocals and the driving rhythm
section of Owen Holmes on bass and Kevin Snow on drums.
