"Seattle's indie-rock darlings Kids and Animals combine intricate, winding instrumental passages with warm vocals to create an energetic and mature sound. With their driving guitars, catchy melodies and technical sophistication the five-piece create a sound reminiscent of early Built to Spill with a touch of Northwest sensibility." -EMP Sound Off!

"Kids and Animals is definitely a collection of talented and intelligent artists." -KEXP

"With justice, Kids and Animals will be one of the next big things in Seattle. In my world they already are." -Back Beat Seattle

"If there's a poster-band for the all ages scene in Seattle, Kids and Animals is it. They sound like someone who has been around the scene for years. There's an intriguing proggy aspect to their songs - they've got this sort of earnest pop punk songwriter thing going on. The melodies are catchy without being too repetitive." -Seattle Weekly

"Every song they play is driven by powerful passion. They may be young in age, but their sound is beyond their years." -Redefine Magazine

"If The Hold Steady was more energetic and combined with a matured version of your favorite old-school punk band, they would be Kids and Animals. The vocals sound like the singers just woke up, smoked a cigarette, and performed. Sexy." -Your New Favorite Song

"Maybe the reason I like them is because they sound like the band I would've wanted to have when I was a kid and first started listening to Modest Mouse and Built to Spill and all that." -The Stranger (Band of the Week December '09)

“Pop sensibility and technical precision are two qualities that this little band has in spades. Their result sounds innovative and interesting but still approachable, giving Kids and Animals a chance to make it just as big as the bands they admire.” -Seattle Weekly

"They have some of the cleanest leads, warm vocals, and catchy riffs that you could slap on an indie-rock band." -Seattle Show Gal
