Black Kids is an indie rock band that hails from Jacksonville, Florida, and came into the limelight with their infectious energy and danceable rhythms. The group is best known for their 2008 debut album "Partie Traumatic," which was both a critical success and a hit among indie-pop enthusiasts. The band hit the ground running with catchy singles such as "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance with You," which not only resonated with a wide audience but also showcased their flair for melding post-punk revival sounds with flamboyant pop hooks.

After riding the wave of their initial success, Black Kids took a long hiatus, leaving fans eagerly awaiting new music. They made their much-anticipated return with the album "Rookie," released in 2017, reaffirming their affinity for buoyant melodies and wry, heartfelt lyrics. The band's sound is characterized by their continued use of sprightly guitar riffs, playful keyboard lines, and lead singer Reggie Youngblood's distinctive vocal style—a combination that maintains their standing as darlings of the indie music scene. With other notable releases like "IFFY" and "Obligatory Drugs," Black Kids continue to produce music that offers a mixture of nostalgia and fresh twists on their signature style.
