KIDS is an eclectic indie-rock band from Ft. Lauderdale, FL formed in 2012 by Joshua Diaz (lead vocals, bass), Josiah Sampson (guitar), Christian Gonzalez (guitar), and Matthew Barrios (drums). The band’s moniker derives from a Picasso quote “All children are artists, the problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up,” a message of keeping true to the dreams of your youth. Translating the emotions of adventure and ambition, KIDS developed an authentic indie-rock sound that takes the listener to another world. The intuitively creative band delivers majestic, hook-filled sounds with a variety of rare and distinctive instruments such as Gϋseng, Shruti Box, Zither, Melodica, Casinets, Hammer Dulcimer, Ukeline, Banjo and more. KIDS blend the finer aspects of indie, alternative, folk, and pop music paired with emotionally driven lyrics that let the audience feel the spontaneity, uncertainty, fear, and excitement of youth.

On stage, KIDS delivers an energetic live performance that never fails to engage the audience in singing and dancing along. They have shared the stage with bands such as Copeland, Parachutes, Go Radio, and The Rocket Summer. KIDS’ enchanting performances made a lasting impression at Florida Music Festival, and also when they shared the stage with Surfer Blood and The Neighbourhood at Coastline Festival in 2014. This year, the band co-headlined Fort Lauderdale’s first For The Love Music Festival along with Copeland, Civilian, Corey James Bost and 30+ emerging artists.

In 2013, KIDS released their breakout EP Sink or Swim with a music video for the title track “Sink or Swim” produced by C&I Studios in Fort Lauderdale and KIDS themselves. In 2014, KIDS and C&I Studios collaborated again to produce a series of album trailers announcing their debut full-length Rich Coast as well as the nostalgic music video for “Second Star On The Right,” which premiered exclusively on EARMILK.

In January 2015, KIDS released Rich Coast, streaming the album in it’s entirety exclusively on The Huffington Post. The albumwas artfully created while the band was camping and hiking the Appalachian Trail. Inspired by the thrills of nature and the antiquities of silent films, Rich Coast is filled with gut-wrenching lyrics and theatrical imagery that gives the album an otherworldly picturesque feel. The band finds their signature voice in this record by adding a vintage cinematic edge to their pop-indie style songwriting. KIDS is proving that they’re not just an indie-rock band, they’re an all-inclusive musical experience.
