KIDS is an alt indie rock band from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Its members—Matthew
Barrios, Joshua Diaz, Christian Gonzalez, Josiah Sampson and Andrew Woomer—
are unified by one simple motive: stay true to yourself. There’s a Picasso quote—
“All children are artists, the problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up”
—they use to fuel that motive; it’s a reminder to always be anchored in authenticity.
First artists, then storytellers, KIDS uses cinematic instrumentation as a vehicle for
their storytelling. Sweeping soundscapes and epic brass sections play to their
eager and animated nature while showcasing their sophisticated musicianship. A
self-expressed band of “sad boys,” KIDS sings songs of love and loss through a
lens of escape and imagination.
Since their conception in 2012, KIDS released a full length record in 2015 and
plans to release their next project on Tooth & Nail Records in 2020.
