"Remember this name, he's going to be massive...Probably the hottest unsigned act in Scotland... if not the UK actually"
News of The World
----------------------
"Already championed by A-listed's radio jock Vic Galloway, this impressive debut from 21-year-old Glaswegian Iain Campbell more than justifies the fuss. It's glitch-pop written with one eye on the spooky electronica of Aphex Twin and the other on the kind of lighter-in-the-air anthem that's a Chris Martin trademark. It's off-the-wall but somehow strangely brilliant too."
Nick Grimshaw Radio 1
--------------------------
"Really into this, it's Kid Adrift...it's great isn't it. Sounds really fresh and a little bit mad, really like it."
Gill Mills NME Radio/Best of Myspace
------------------------------------------
"Everyone's getting very excited about this chap...Glitch pop with Aphex Twin production values and some serious songwriting chops to back it up. He's catching people's hearts and minds"
Record of the Day
---------------------
"Red, Green and Blue was first picked up and supported by Vic Galloway on Radio 1 Scotland in May. In recent weeks Kid Adrift, a 21 year-old Glasgow-based singer songwriter, has got plays from Huw Stephens and Nick Grimshaw on Radio 1. We love the pleasing clash of styles on this record, which he composed, produced and recorded himself. Kid Adrift has elicited an enthusiastic early response from labels and managers." -James Foley
The Fly "Levi's One's to Watch"
------------------------------------
"Kid Adrift writes, plays, records and produces everything with a feverish obsession and has created a sound that's being hailed as a Dubsteppy Muse. Expansive attention-grabbing anthems"
Jim Gellatly XFM/Radio Scotland
--------------------------------------
"Certainly one of the hottest new acts in Scotland"
Huw Stephen's Radio 1:
---------------------------
" A Dubsteppy Muse is how Vic described it. Sounds awesome to us"
The Scotsman

"We are picking up a big buzz around Glasgow act, Kid Adrift. The mysterious artist has been on the scene for only three months and has already been championed by BBC Radio 1 and industry barometer Record of the Day."
Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music:

"An epic Bowie on steroids reversioned for the 21st century: check out the lyrics!"
hey guys just to let you know we are playing a couple of dates in Glasgow! Monday the 9th and sunday 29TH at the Box Sauchiehall street its free and it will be an awesome night would be good to see you all there!
Um hi. Thanks for accepting. I use Garageband Cos it's the only thing I can afford. oh and some internet stuff aswell, like the nudge thing on my page (I stole it from little boots!). What do you use, your beats sound amazing. Thanks Ginger.
Hey there—thanks very much! I've been enjoying your music too, it's fantastic stuff—subtle but still pithy.
We're eventually planning to vocode the chorus vocals—basically get one set of formants and consonants modulated with the whole harmony. I'd be interested to hear what you think when we get it done.
By the way, I also highly recommend Field—nothing like my stuff but superbly written and sung.
