"Our money's on the napkins."
The Weekly Dig

“The artistry in dishing out a dynamic, indie prog-rock set has a tendency toward losing itself within needless shredding and over-the-top theatrics. This was not the case when KID:NAP:KIN launched into a set of genre-straddling alternative rock. Wasting no time at seizing the audience’s attention, the small but mighty three-piece delivered a full dosage of metal-infused ear candy, best suited for the intellectually-inclined headbanger, rock-‘n’ roller, punk rocker, or anyone who just prefers their music loud.”
Northeast Performer

"Rarely has the...post-punk genre sounded this urgent and this volatile. If anyone told them that you cant have sweet Jeff Buckley kicking into a psycho rant with axe chops of guitar, or a jazz chord break in a punk song, then I am glad they havent listened. This record makes my testicles feel funny."
The Noise

"Singer/guitarist Dan Ellis has an obvious passion for his music and his vocal style fervently defines the sound of KID:NAP:KIN. Ellis tosses his vocals around like an abused rag doll; one minute he lightly hums over a smooth, clean chord, and the next, he is screaming bloody murder along with backup vocalist and drummer Patrick Hanlin. While not for everyone, the music is performed with virtuosity and talent. It’s unclear exactly what their message is or where they are headed, but one thing is certain: KID:NAP:KIN will not go quietly."
Northeast Performer

"The judgment here is that these guys will go places further than just Allston or Brighton."
Boston Herald

"Progressive, kinda avant garde and WAY original. They obviously put a lot of time/thought/energy into it and should be proud. The guys all play well and you can tell there's a fair amount of theory goin' on."
Tommy Aldridge (drummer for Ozzy Osbourne & Whitesnake! Rock.)

"The translation from great lyrics to actual musical content is flawless..."
Future-Breed.com

Like most people reading this review, the moniker of the band almost made me skip over this release. However, I decided to give the band’s new EP Touring The Riot Scene, and upon completion, I was glad I did not let my preconceived judgments get the best of me. Throughout Touring The Riot Scene, KID:NAP:KIN layer quirky, angular guitar attacks over vocals that range from smooth crooning to full-out spastic screams...The Riot Scene is a satisfying listen.
Absolute Punk

"An odd-time indie rock attack...truly original music that challenges the notions of what rock is supposed to be."
Berklee Groove

"The number of times I've seen KID:NAP:KIN live is obscene. They're that good…This EP is a survey course in musicianship, no doubt--KID:NAP:KIN succeeds where so many School of Musical Masturbation bands have failed: they put the soul back into the technical. It's about time somebody did...I'm so tired of pretending I like Pat Metheny."
Mike from Bang Camaro

Thanks for the kind words, were glad you enjoyed the tune. Should have a full band recording up in a few weeks.  Keep up the good work, you've got a pretty wicked vocal range.
