The Kidcrash




I usually just call them "Kidcrash," but "The Kidcrash" seems to be more popular, so let's just go with that. They are just bliss. With 3 full lengths and a slew of additional songs and an EP, it's great to see how much their sound has changed from 5 years ago but how it was also just as enjoyable then as it is now in its own sense. In its essentials (with the exception of their first album, New Ruins, for the most part, which is more straightforward post-hardcore), it's in a similar vein of screamo/hardcore music to bands like Loma Prieta, Ampere, or Sinaloa (all of which will be posted at some point), but they blend in some delicious math rock elements and tendencies, particularly in the guitar work, whilst maintaining a good level of yelling and hardcore absurdity.

Genres: Post-hardcore, math rock, screamo
