Overnight blow-up artists
Black Kids found crazy buzz, major label attention, and a fast track to the spotlight. Now the new question is, will the love last through their album release? Or will it flicker out and fizzle? Decide for yourself. Even though the album isn't out in the states until later this month, the Florida fivesome have generously posted all of
Partie Traumatic on
Myspace.
Will the recent wave of nostalgia (
Hercules and Love Affair might call to hang out), perhaps this is the direction of mainstream cool. Or, it's already been done successfully, and here just seems redundant. Either way,
Black Kids are going to be on the tips of toungues for a month at least. For now we're continuing to argue if they sound more like young
Killers or not. It could be a good thing.
