Debut Album Rich Coast To Be Released January 27, 2015
Kids to play ‘For The Love Music Festival‘ with Copeland February 7, 2015
Fort Lauderdale, FL | December 1, 2014 – South Florida’s indie/folk alternative rock band Kids not only announced that they will be playing alongside Copeland at the ‘For The Love Music Festival’ this February, they released “Rich Coast: Official Album Trailer II,” (produced by C&I Studios) the second in a series of creative self-produced album trailers teasing their highly anticipated debut album Rich Coast which is set for release on January 27, 2015. The creative 4-piece Kids strives to bring something new to the table by providing their listeners with a series of album trailers used as a concept to interpret the tone and feel of their debut album Rich Coast. “Rich Coast: Official Album Trailer II,” continues the story from last week’s “Rich Coast: Album Trailer I” where a traveler begins his adventurous journey to get back to his true love, featuring two emotionally captivating songs, “Lone” and “Second Star on the Right” from their full-length album, Rich Coast.
“On Trailer II, (opening with track 7 “Lone”) the traveler finds shelter and builds a fire to settle in for the night, keeping his sanity through his loneliness with his two best friends… His harmonica and his pipe. Waking up the next morning in a fog, he realized he’s running late! Now he has to hurry (song, track 4, “Second Star on the Right”). Sprinting, jumping, climbing, and sweating to make his deadline; his determination prevails. He will succeed. For every challenge is a new adventure.” – Kids
Kids (similar to Young the Giant, American Authors, Mumford & Sons) is an eclectic four piece American Indie-rock band formed in 2012 by Josiah Sampson (guitar), Joshua Diaz (lead vocals, bass), Matthew Barrios (drums) and Christian Gonzalez (guitar). Aside from their musical career, the band works in lead production roles at C&I Studios in Fort Lauderdale alongside Director Joshua Miller, who after hearing Rich Coast for the first time got a creative itch; writing a series of trailers, music videos, and branding concepts that would ultimately set the release of Rich Coast on the map in the music and film industry and beyond. Together, setting a new standard for the relationship between indie songwriting, Kids and C&I Studios are expanding their creativity and transforming their music into short film, bringing their listeners (and viewers) on a journey through time as they tell their story. Continuing from “Rich Coast: Official Album Trailer I” to “Rich Coast: Official Album Trailer II,” this sensational band is proving that they’re not just an indie-rock band, they’re an all-inclusive musical experience.

About Kids:
“When we discussed writing our full-length record, we sought out ways to translate feeling into the music. We wanted to convey emotion rather than just a sound or a story, we wanted to put the listener in the scenery where we wrote it. We went on a three-week adventure, across the pines of Chattanooga, Tennessee to the mountains of Northern Georgia. In search for adolescence, in search for a feeling we could construe…” — Josiah Sampson, Kids
