Kids Like Us

**Kids Like Us** is a raucous Florida-based hardcore band known for blending old-school punk energy with crossover thrash riffs and a playful, no-frills attitude. Emerging in the early 2000s, they carved out a niche with their mosh-ready anthems, shout-along choruses, and lyrics that often skewered clichés or celebrated the chaos of youth culture. Tracks like “The 80’s Are Dead” and “Outta Control” typify their knack for merging breakneck speed with tongue-in-cheek humor, while their self-titled releases and albums like *The Game* (2007) cemented their reputation as a staple of the underground hardcore scene.

Though they’ve maintained a relatively low profile over the years, Kids Like Us built a loyal following for their unapologetically fun approach to hardcore, channeling the spirit of ‘80s crossover bands like D.R.I. or Suicidal Tendencies while keeping their sound raw and immediate. Their live shows became legendary for their intensity, and their discography remains a go-to for fans craving riffs, sweat, and a dose of sarcasm.
