KIDS028 - SILENT FILM PROJECT - TWO DAYS

LIMITED, HAND NUMBERED 7" AND DIGITAL SINGLE

A: TWO DAYS
B: ALLIGATOR

Sheffield-based Silent Film Project will release their debut single 'Two Days' on 8th June 2009 on limited, numbered 7" and digital download through KIDS.

'Two Days' is a summer indie-pop anthem in waiting, shot through with references to youthful exuberance and fun; giddily bouncing along with chiming guitars and the interplaying vocals of Paul Musgrave (vocals/guitar) and Lisa O'Hara (vocals/percussion). B-side 'Alligator' keeps up the high standard; both tracks evoking the sounds of The Smiths at their most playful, and Belle and Sebastian at their most melodic.

The band formed in Scunthorpe as a side project of Paul, Tom Dakin (lead guitar) and Phill Vernon (drums)'s previous band, which quickly became their main focus with the addition of Lisa and James Keown (bass) and their subsequent relocation to Sheffield.

In the last year, the band have won many plaudits, including winning the Intel Studio competition, based at Proud Galleries in Camden, ahead of thousands of other bands; a victory which led to them signing to KIDS. In addition, the band have built up a healthy local following, played shows with Alphabeat, The Wombats and Frank Turner and with further touring to come throughout 2009, Silent Film Project are set to be the soundtrack to your summer.

KIDS027 - DEFEND MOSCOW - MANIFESTO

LIMITED, HAND NUMBERED 7" AND DIGITAL EP

A: MANIFESTO
B: BITTERSWEET DESTINY
Digital: MANIFESTO (KGB REMIX)
Digital: MANIFESTO (LENNY PICKO REMIX)

Defend Moscow will release their debut single 'Manifesto' on 23 February through KIDS Records.

Based on the life of Bolshevik revolutionary and Marxist theorist Leon Trotsky, 'Manifesto' is a dance floor destroying statement of intent with lyrics inspired by Trotsky and the idea of being devastatingly betrayed at a deserved moment of glory. **(Your typical pop song about love and heartache then.)

Born through a chance meeting between friends Jon Beck (vocals) and Dave Fawbert (guitar/synths/programming), and Norwegian siren Sofie Storaas (vocals) in Bergen, Norway a year ago, the three bonded over a shared love of classic and contemporary electro, pop and indie, and Russian vodka. The line-up was completed when drummer Adam Pickering and Parisian bassist Rick Elmos joined the ranks and Defend Moscow immediately set to work writing tunes which recall the likes of New Order, Human League, Pet Shop Boys, as well as their modern contemporaries New Young Pony Club and Ladyhawke.

Despite being very much in their infancy, Defend Moscow have already clocked up support slots with Sam Sparro, The Wombats, Sneaky Sound System and Team Waterpolo. Defend Moscow are planning to tour extensively through 2009 - including a trio of launch parties in London, Bergen and Paris - and with an abundance of killer tracks they are set to lead an electro-pop revolution.

KIDS026 - KYTE - TWO SPARKS, TWO STARS EP

1. EYES LOSE THEIR FIRE
2. BRIDGES IN THE SKY
3. SOLSBURY HILL
4. LIGHTS OUTSIDE HERE

Kyte will release their new EP, Two Stars, Two Sparks, on 1 December through KIDS Records. The EP comes after the release of Kyte's lauded debut self-titled mini-album in February this year, which saw the NME say "Kyte will steal your heart soon as look as you." The four new tracks on the EP see Kyte build on the atmospheric, beautiful post-rock that made their debut so exceptional.

Opening with the epic bombast of 'Eyes Lose Their Fire'; to the vocal-led ambience of 'Bridges'; a distinctly Kyte and a distinctly beautiful take of Peter Gabriel's 'Solsbury Hill', and concluding with the post-rock electronic majesty of 'Lights Outside Here'. Kyte have crafted an EP that demonstrates a maturity beyond their 21 years and the potential to be acclaimed as the British Sigur Ros.

Kyte have 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, Maps and Iceland's Ólafur Arnalds. This year the band also completed a UK tour with acclaimed Leeds post-rockers iLiKETRAiNS, which included a sold-out date at London's Bush Hall. Kyte have also been touring internationally playing a highly successful tour of Japan, where their debut album has sold over 30,000 copies and a mini-tour of Europe performing in Poland, Germany and Switzerland.
