Kinetic Stereokids

It's not at all hard to detect when a band's members know each other so well that the music becomes a completely cohesive creature. This is exemplified by Kintetic Stereokids and the 10 tracks on its latest release, Basement Kids. The childhood friends take rock to an entirely new place-- with compelling instrumentation and innovative production details. Not too far off from Sonic Youth's extreme-dabbling, or Elliot Smith's melancholic rock balladry, KSK presents the next step in the evolution of the experimental rock sub-genre. It's no surprise that these kids have shared stages with Explosions In The Sky, ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The Dead, The Secret Machines, and Wolf Eyes. Its genuine and fresh approach to rock, coupled with addictive hooks and vocals, make KSK a must-hear. The individual energies of this four piece combine perfectly to make a kinetic record that will move any listener.
