  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. Martin, Richard, Kerri, Mark and Craig are Absent Kid. Based in Colchester, Essex, they play an energetic brand of indie-pop. .. The fledgling Absent Kid got their first break winning the Diesel U-Music Award for Best New Rock act and began receiving press, notably in the NME, Kerrang and on Drowned in Sound. The band released debut mini-album ‘I Burnt Down the Family Business’ through legendary North London indie label Fierce Panda. To support the album the band opened for the The Subways, Art Brut, Kasabian and Queen Adreena and featured on both MTV2 and Radio One, as well as recording a session for XFM. .. Full length follow up 'Misadventure' was hailed as the bands finest work to date, combining crunching indie rock-riffs with dirty grooves and euphoric choruses. .. Now AK are back for 2010 with a clutch of new songs and a mischievous glint in their collective eyes. .. ...... .. Alternatively it can now be downloaded from iTunes too! .. ‘...a stratospheric amalgam of pop hooks and colossal guitars’ NME .. .. “…A hugely inventive collection.” 4/5 KERRANG! .. .. ”…an undeniable commercial sensibility that promises to keep the band on the radio map for some time to come.” MUSIC WEEK .. .. “…This is 25 minutes of old school indie rock music and consistently excellent old school rock music at that.” CLASH MAGAZINE .. .. “…A cacophony of styles and volumes, spitting spidery guitar lines one minute, then violent whirls of distortion the next. The only thing that’s consistent is the quality.” ROCK SOUND.. .. "Classic Indie Rock - they mean business" THE FLY.. .. "Bloody Brilliant..." DROWNED IN SOUND .. .. "Thoughtful intelligent noise pop" ROCK SOUND .. .. ''pure nuggets of joy that will have you dancing around your bedroom'' NOISY FANZINE .. p> .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Absent Kid - Shoot On Sight .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Absent Kid- Note To Self .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Absent Kid- I've Got Your Back .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
