Track of the Day: KIDS ON BRIDGES - 'Just Because You Can'

Fresh from a support slot with Grammy Award Winner Beck and shows with The Hot 8 Brass Band, Soulwax and Calvin Harris, the Liverpool trio unleash a new single ‘Just Because You Can’. The track is a heavy pounding Stones groove akin to ‘Undercover of the Night’ with a Gang of Four riff thrown in for good measure, giving Kids On Bridges a unique sound, one that is so fresh you could eat it!

The bands versatility has seen them described as somewhere between Mutemath , Two Door Cinema Club , !!! and Daft Punk. Kids On Bridges are currently heading back over to America where they are going to finish work on a brand new album and have drafted in Eagles of Death Metal bass player Jennie Vee to join them on a number of tracks, along with New Orleans poet Chuck Perkins.

Having previously worked with The Chemical Brothers producer Steve Dub, the new album promises to be a sonic assault! Although the guys are certainly no strangers to having great guest performances on their releases, the last single ‘Say Ok’ featured New Orleans drumming legend Zigaboo Modeliste of the Meters.
The band also found themselves nominated for best Alt video at the Paramount Awards in Hollywood for the single ‘Something in the Water’.

2016 saw the band head out to America to perform a sold out show at The Viper Room after legendary station KROQ picked up the track ‘Walls’ , they were also honoured to be the UK represensatives at last years Special Olympics in LA performing alongside Stevie Wonder.

With excellent performances at Wickerman, Bestival and Ibiza Rocks,the future couldn’t be looking brighter for the Wall of Sound champions!

‘Just Because You Can’ is released on 23/6/17
