Kid British

Mercury

WE SAY

Kid British's first single proper, the ebullient, catchy 'Sunny Days' has received early R1 plays from Jo Whiley and Switch, among others. Press has been good with pieces like Chris Mugan's in The Independent which spells out the band's take on ska, indie and rap. Kid British are supporting The Enemy on their UK tour at the moment. Their album It Was This or Football, produced by Steve Dubb (Chemical Brothers) and Stephen Street (Blur) follows on June 29. JF London gig: April 11, Brixton Academy SW9 (w/ The Enemy) Video.
