"No trendy nonsense"! That's what Kid Champion have to say about their endearing mish mash of a sound, but we suggest you hang onto these boy's coat tales as they riot through a venue near you.
With influences stemming from XTC to The Smiths, Kid Champion are certainly smarter than your average motley crew looking for a record deal. Unafraid to entwine jangly jazz chords with thrashing rock-out choruses, this is a trio of risk takers and we applaud them.
Together just eighteen months, the band have already been in the studio for the past year recording their, as yet unreleased, debut record. Alongside co-producer Jon Moon, best known for his work with Amy Winehouse, The Kooks and Buzzcocks, Kid Champion have a lot to be smiling about and so do we if the demo is anything to go by. Gary Crowley BBC Radio 1
Slick, catchy indie pop from the depths of Twickenham, Kid Champion certainly know what they're doing when it comes to penning a pop song. Spoonfed London
Catchy indie rock pop….a combination of The Kooks and The Strokes It really shouldn't work, but they pull it off. Most excellently indeed. Bugbear Promotions
We've got two very different but very awesome shows for you this week...
