This Kid

In May 2010 drummer Gerben (ex-Daybreak) and frontman Steven (ex-Daybreak, ex-ALE) found themselves in need of a new creative and musical outlet after the breakup of their former band. Both aimed for a different style, new songs, different vibe, different edge, in short: a clean slate. They invited guitarist Laurens (Motion Glue) and bassplayer Serge (ex-KYHL) over for a jam at their
rehearsalplace in Wilrijk. A few hours later it appeared they got just what they aimed for.

This Kid's Got No Name has their first songs well together by now. Think of a triple turntable where At The Drive-In, Refused and The Bronx are mixed up with some ferocious knobtwisting that gives this crossover of rock, hardcore and punk its experimental and even funky edge. Think against-the-grain songstructures, a desire to do things differently and most of all: make music with a passion
for the music, the way théy want their music to sound, regardless of genre, stale stylistic dogma or nitpicking you-know-the-kind punk friend that got stuck somewhere in the nineties.
