Lee from Knox Road recommended a band to me a few weeks back, and I finally remembered to give them a listen. He figured I would enjoy a young band from Sheffield called All The Damn Kids. The reason he is most likely because Sheffield is also the home of Arctic Monkeys, my favorite band (like you didn’t know that already!).
He shared the bands debut single “The Books Stop Here” with me. It is coming out as a single with the b-side “Like Seeing A Fox In Daylight” in May. The band was cool enough to give “The Books Stop Here” away as a free mp3 to get people excited, and it certainly worked for me. It’s a heartwarming uplifting indie pop gold.
I did some more digging and found that the band posted a few demos of two songs called “Echoes” and “Like Seeing A Fox In Daylight”. “Echoes” sounds out of this world, really dense stuff. The vocal works is dramatic and seductive. “Fox” is a shuffling tune that is easily described as catchy and very, very, satisfying.
At the end of the day, all you need to know is that All The Damn Kids are an exciting young band that is going places. Their songs are catchy and sound like a long lost best friend that you will gladly welcome back any day of the week. These kids are going places, and we are all in for the ride.

Heard ‘The Books Stop Here’ on Jon Hilcock’s NME radio show a few weeks back and it’s pretty ace. Not so sure about the other tracks but the band could go far.
