About Kids These Days

(1) Kids These Days comes from Chicago but their music comes from everywhere. With a horn section, a rapper, a blues-rock trio and a female singer, KTD blends a wide range of influences -- hip-hop, jazz, soul, blues, and classic rock -- into a unique, fresh sound that breaks boundaries while honoring America's musical heritage. KTD includes Liam Cunningham on guitar and lead vocals, Lane Beckstrom on bass, Greg Landfair on drums, Macie Stewart on keys, lead vocals, and background vocals,Vic Mensa on rap vocals, Nico Segal on trumpet, and J.P. Floyd on trombone. (2) Kids These Days formed in early 2011 and hit the ground running. Within two months they recorded a 4 song EP titled "There Goes The Neighborhood" and were playing numerous local shows with local and touring acts such as I Call Fives, Major League, Handguns, Giants At Large, Think Big!, No Such Noise!, and more. Making a ton of friends, fans, connections, and more over last summer, the band really began to establish itself and its sound. Finally reaching its final lineup status with Eric, Dan, Dave, and Korey, the band reached a new level. With the lineup locked up, the band went into Bad Lab Studios and recorded a 6 song EP that is set to release in late February 2012. The band has plans to hit the road numerous times and with numerous acts.
