‘CRASH’ is out now on vinyl 👾 @thekidandimusic have torn up the rulebook with their ep

the band set out to push their sound to its absolute limit, finding out what it’s like to be a loud, live, chaotic punk band locked inside a studio

but the ambition didn’t stop at the sonics 👀

it runs through the iconography, the colour palette, the loose narratives woven between tracks, and even how they dress on stage

which track are you putting on first? tell us below 👇

THE KID AND I’s ‘CRASH’ ep was made on a narrowboat in limehouse and you can hear the difference 👾 @jacobrcpowell of @thekidandimusic says the band’s earlier studio sessions were shaped by the clock, with every hour precious and expensive and little room to try something that might not work

for ‘CRASH’ they moored up on minky très-vain’s narrowboat instead where there was no meter running

that freedom let them experiment, chase odd ideas, and take as long as they needed to craft the ep into something special

stream or pick up ‘CRASH’ now via @elasticstage 💜

where’s the most unusual place you’ve ever heard a record was made?

behind the noise 👾 @thekidandimusic on the making of their ep ‘CRASH’ and the story behind it

written largely by frontman @jacobrcpowell in the wake of a break-up and a move back home, ‘CRASH’ was born in a dark place

at the time jacob was convinced it would be his last release before disappearing from public life altogether

instead it’s become a turning point

the band talk about how the ep reframed what they’re capable of: seriously loud, in-your-face moments sitting alongside bare, vulnerable songs that aren’t afraid to let the guard down

a new blueprint for where THE KID AND I can go next? 👀

the scratch rock signees turned up with their most honest and unflinching work to date, a record that hits hard and cuts deep in equal measure

‘CRASH’ and the band’s full catalogue are available exclusively through @elasticstage 💜

“we’ve been really lucky in this band to have had some incredible powerhouse drummers” 👾 @thekidandimusic take a moment to look back on the people who’ve shaped their sound, celebrating the collaborators who’ve passed through the band over the years

top of the list was former drummer @elvis_drummer whose thunderous playing gave the band’s songs their driving force

it’s a sound the band still carries with them, and one they talk about with real affection

shout out to:
🥁 elvis quagliotto: “the powerhouse drummer”
🎸 every bandmate, guest, and friend who’s added something special along the way
🎶 the records they made together, still some of our favourites

brimming with energy and heart, THE KID AND I’s music is a reminder that the best bands are built on great company

keep an eye out for what’s coming next from them on scratch rock records 💜

this week we shine a light on scratch rock records’ love for berlin 👾 from chanty très-vain making the city her home to the label bringing its artists to the stage there: in november 2024 the BETTER TOGETHER european tour stopped at @gibneys.berlin with @brainapemusic and @thekidandimusic co-headlining and chanty in support

label co-founder minky très-vain says it best 👀 “we love berlin for how artsy it is and it very much feels like a second home for our label and our community. we’d love to explore that more as we have nothing but love for the wonderful city”
