KIDS023 - LO-FI CULTURE SCENE - ABSTRACT
Limited, hand-numbered 7" and digital download
Released

A:
ABSTRACT
B:
FAST FORWARD
INFO:
Lo-Fi Culture Scene will release their debut single 'Abstract' through KIDS on 30 June 2008. It will be released on hand-numbered 7" vinyl (limited to 500) backed with the track Fast Forward and, as with all KIDS releases, it will come with a code that allows the buyer to download a free unrestricted MP3 of both tracks.
Some members of the band - all of whom are aged 13 and 14 - have known each other since they were two years old, but didn't form Lo-Fi Culture Scene until 18 months ago. Tom MacColl (drums) had previously been jamming with his big brother's band Bombay Bicycle Club until he was kicked out for "not being cool enough", and Lo-Fi's first gig was playing covers at a street party on the road on which three of the band live.
Since then, rehearsals in Tom's basement have taken precedence over choosing their GCSE options, and a set of high-octane indie tunes has been written that takes influence from Bloc Party, The Strokes, Radiohead and Neutral Milk Hotel.
In their short time together, Lo-Fi have already accomplished an incredible amount. They recently played the Astoria supporting Les Savy Fav and the Islington Academy with Good Shoes, as well as other supports with Bloc Party, Foals and Mumm-Ra - not forgetting a memorable house party with Lethal Bizzle. They have already attracted the attention of many within the music industry, including John Fortis (Razorlight, The Pipettes, Assembly Now) who produced 'Abstract'
Lo-Fi are proving themselves to be as good, if not better, than their older compatriots, and are poised to storm the indie scene with an abundance of catchy riffs, an impeccably tight rhythm section, and the type of addictive choruses that most bands would kill to write.
"By the time they're 16, they'll be grazing on indie bones in the way that the young lion feeds on the ageing head of the pride" - NME
"Their age is irrelevant: they are simply one of the best acts I have seen in a long time" - Artrocker
"London's coolest
schoolkids are already on their way to stardom" - Time Out

KIDS019 - KYTE
NOW BACK IN STOCK FROM:
KIDS is delighted to announce the release of the debut mini album from Kyte. The 7 track record is available on numbered, wax sealed CD and download on February 18th and is preceded by the digital download single 'Boundaries' on February 11th, which is bundled with the stunning KGB remix of album track 'Sunlight'.
With an average age of only 20, Kyte have crafted a collection of epic pop songs with a mastery beyond their years. Recalling the glacial soundscapes of Sigur Rós, the bombast of Mew and the melodic sensibility of Death Cab For Cutie, Kyte's songs will resonate with all fans of beautiful and ambitious pop music.
Despite having only one previous release to their name - a 7" release of 'Planet' on Sonic Cathedral - Kyte have already captured many hearts. Maps' remix of b-side 'Secular Ventures' gained widespread plaudits in the indie and dance press alike, and in the US their track 'Boundaries' was used on a nationally aired advert for The Sopranos on HBO. The electronic tinge to their music (recalling Four Tet or Boards of Canada) has led to supports with The Whip and Maps, as well as winning the acclaim of Ulrich Schnauss.
'Kyte' weighs in at 40 minutes long yet is available for the super-low price of just £6 for the CD and £5 digitally.........
