Bio: In the grand tradition of great pop music from Glasgow come Sexy
Kids. Featuring three members of the sadly departed Royal We (their
All The Rage single being one of THE anthems of 2006), Sexy Kids
specialize in spiky post-pop with the emphasis on POP. Drawing
comparisons to groups like Girls At Our Best and The Raincoats, Sexy
Kids tunes never take the most direct route, rather they revel in finding
a roundabout path to that killer chorus. Listening to Sisters Are
Forever, the adjectives charming, playful and earnest spring readily to
mind. It's a massive tune, with enough drive, energy and smarts to
mark it as a future classic. Drown Me is more spare, a skeletal jangle
hanging on 8th note hi-hats, handclaps and a la-la chorus. Pure
magic, and a perfect complement to the punkish pop of Sisters. This
is Sexy Kids debut single, and on the strength of these two ace tunes
we think you'll be eagerly awaiting more from them.
Someone once wrote this…
"I don't know. Everything is kind of grossing me out right now but then
there’s one thing I’ve found that doesn’t. They are friends. They are 3
guitars and one drum kit. They play songs that are fun and poppy but
sad too. I heard they play naked but they wear shoes. I know they met
in Glasgow but god knows where they are now. Together but apart.
This is their first record. Sexy Kids."
