KIDS

The playlist

clicky^

If you like music, real music, made with passion and genuine emotion, then this is for you. I wanted to do this for a while and never got around to it, but I finally did... obviously. I made this playlist called "kids". I suppose none of them are really "kids", but they're all young, and that's the idea here. This is real music, so do yourself a favor and give it a listen, feel free to share it with someone.<

Tom Chorba
Pittsburgh, PA
Folk / Country-ish rock
Local kid. Went to school with him. He was prom king this year.
We still need to play together sometime. When I found his music
I was like "damn, he's better than me", then I tried harder.

Guice Mann
Willowick, OH
Guaranteed to be some of the weirdest music you've ever heard.
Fun and insane, repetitive screaming or rap. Gotta love the Guice Mann. He makes dope shoes, crazy music, and crazy videos.

Jack Carter
Atlanta, GA
Folk
He now resides in the ATL, but he used to live in Winston-Salem, NC.
Was in a band called The Scurvies, they are long-gone. He sent me lots of the old stuff they did. Pretty big inspiration when I started recording my own music. He is making great folk music now, with various people in Atlanta. Checkout the Subterranean bums, and Trip Costas

Natural Numbers
Bedford, IN
Near hardcore.. no-wave, noise, and experimental.
Okay, Just recently this kid has ended this project, but I had to mention it. He's 13, and into bands like No age, Times new viking, and old stuff like My bloody valentine. He makes this shit himself, and it's pretty damn impressive.
