Four freshmen locked out as the sun goes down
Vancouver’s No Kids has a bit of an indie rock pedigree. Nick Krgovich’s first band, P:ANO released a couple of albums a few years back, and started when he was still in high school. “…You can’t be in the band you started in high school forever,” he said in Under The Radar magazine earlier this year, which is partly the impetus for No Kid’s quirky brand of pop, progressing on from P:ANO’s previous work.
No Kids combine strong percussive rhythm tracks and somewhat elaborate melodies to create on of the most diverse and original sounding albums I’ve heard in ages. Krgovich says a lot of his inspiration comes from some highly unlikely sources, notably Jam & Lewis productions like Janet Jackson’s Control album, and Paula Abdul’s “Rush Rush”. “I find these records to be totally fascinating and bizarre… having rhythm tracks that are just bonkers and paring that with these really beautiful and economical melodies… there are a handful of tracks on Come Into My House that are influenced by these production ideas.”
Come Into My House is No Kids’ debut release, and available now at many fine retailers. Accept Nick’s invitation, and join the band for this ‘bizarre’ and ‘beautiful’ house party.
