"Kids That Fly first built their name through chaotic house shows near the University of Connecticut in 2018, where tight rooms and loud crowds helped forge the band's early identity. As their audience grew, they continued working their way through the New York live circuit while travelling back and forth into the city to record their earliest releases."
"That DIY drive has since grown into a bi-coastal operation after signing with Giant Music. Their recording sessions now span New York City, Los Angeles, and their home base in Connecticut. Even with that growth, nothing about them feels fake."
"Their newest single, " See You Dancing ," leans into a bright, guitar-driven sound built for movement. The instrumentation carries a light, rhythmic energy, with guitars cutting through the mix and setting the tone from the start. Vocally, the track sits comfortably within that same space, weaving into the arrangement rather than sitting on top of it, which helps maintain its easygoing feel."
"There's a subtle nostalgic quality that may remind some listeners of classic British indie, including echoes of The Smiths, though the band frames it through a more modern, polished indie-rock lens. The production feels clean and intentional without becoming rigid, allowing each element to breathe while still landing as a cohesive whole."
Kids That Fly create honest, heartfelt melodies with a defiant, anthemic indie-rock spirit. The band formed its early identity through chaotic house shows near the University of Connecticut in 2018, then expanded by working through the New York live circuit while recording early releases through frequent travel. After signing with Giant Music, their DIY approach grew into a bi-coastal operation with recording sessions across New York City, Los Angeles, and Connecticut. Their newest single, “See You Dancing,” features bright, movement-ready guitar-driven instrumentation and vocals that weave into the arrangement. The production stays clean and intentional, with subtle nostalgic British indie echoes filtered through a modern, polished sound. They continue touring, including support slots and upcoming shows.
