Kid Canaveral
A quartet from Scotland that over the past couple of years have released a string of irristeable 7" singles. With punchy songs about dancing, drinking and love, Kid Canaveral are one of the best new bands doing the rounds.

The band have just released their debut LP 'Shouting At Wildlife' to widespread praise:


BBC Radio 1 Introducing...In Scotland ALBUM OF THE MONTH July 2010

"Once in a while a band comes along that just makes your heart sing - Abba, The B-52s, The Housemartins. All created gloriously melodic pop that filled you to bursting with happiness. Kid Canaveral do the same. If there's one album you buy this year by a band you don't know, then this should be the one." DAILY RECORD

"Kid Canaveral's album, Shouting At Wildlife, is punky, punchy and poppy. It had me reaching for The Wedding Present's George Best and The Delgados' Domestiques in fond reminiscence; anyone who's fallen for Standard Fare's superb album this year will be just as taken by these spiky tales of alcohol-fuelled mayhem and heartbroken gloom." FIRE ESCAPE TALKING

"Like the old adage that you're never further than six feet from a rat in a major city, the feeling with this debut from the St Andrews-formed act is that you are never more than 30 seconds from a hook. Taking the best principles of pop-punk - pogo-friendly rhythms, catchy choruses and at-times frantic instrumental interplay - the four-piece put singalong, instantly memorable tunes at the core of their sound." IS THIS MUSIC? **** (four stars)
