The Record Kid

The Story:
The Record Kid formed after the founding members' previous band dissolved in the wake of a label bankruptcy. Lead singer Jeff states, "Most would see it as the end, but we saw it as a new beginning. We recognized the opportunity to move forward on our own terms ". The band decided to use their meager resources to write and record a full length with all new material and in May 2009 independently released it through Itunes worldwide. Within a few months of its release the album has already received airplay on Atlanta's rock 100.5 and is scheduled for a physical release in Japan through Vecca Records/Tower Distribution sept 23, 2009.

The Record:
On their debut release "Stories", The Record Kid manages to avoid the confines in which a typical rock/pop outfit would happily dwell. Each song has its own personality and pushes the sound in a different direction while collectively defining it! The end result is a diverse yet cohesive record that strays from the pop rock monotony plaguing most bands in their genre.

Beyond our Music:
"We shouldn't turn a blind eye to suffering, whether it's a continent away or a block away. If we know there are others in need and we are able to do something about it, we should! We hope to use our music as a medium to urge others out of complacency and into action."
