And The Kids is a Northampton quartet who got their start busking on local streets, and playing in an underground studio/performance space in Holyoke run by lead singer Hannah Mohan and drummer Rebecca Lasaponaro.
The band, who tag their genre “indie folk rock glitter popsicle crisis” have a haunting wild sound generated by unruly riffs and melodies and Mohans unmistakable rich dreamy voice.
Their most recent LP Neighbors, released last month, is moody, mystical, youthful, rowdy, dark and fun all at once.
Although comparisons can be drawn between And The Kids and indie folk rock, dream pop artists like Cults, Lykke Li and Florence and the Machine – the band have definitely forged their own stand out style.
See them live at Toad, 1912 Massachusetts Ave, Friday Nov 1st
