Black Kids

  • Once again demonstrating the power of the Internet in breaking new bands, in a matter of months the Black Kids came from obscurity to become one of the most talked-about bands at the 2007 College Music Journal Music Marathon, all on the basis of four songs posted on the band's MySpace page and a lot of buzz among music bloggers. Hailing from Jacksonville, FL, the Black Kids consist of Reggie Youngblood on guitar and lead vocals, Ali Youngblood and Dawn Watley on keyboards and backing vocals, Owen Holmes on bass, and Kevin Snow on drums. Reggie and Ali, who are brother and sister, met the other three members of the group while attending the same Sunday school classes as kids (Reggie points out that in the often-conservative South, Sunday school is a great place to socialize with the opposite sex), and in 2006 they got together to form a band.

Boy/Crisis

  • On Planet Sex in the year 3000 S.D. (So Def), a single rose petal fell from the sky and when it landed on an endless wine-red sea, it made a thunderclap heard across the universe. This sound was Boy Crisis, is Boy Crisis and will always and forever be the twice-aforementioned band. The sound travels at the speed of sound across the vast hollows of the outer heavens penetrates the most sex-related parts of the human ear. The scent of Hibiscus wafts somewhere. A candle is blown out. Happy Birthday. I got you Boy Crisis.
