The Capitalist Kids

**The Capitalist Kids** are a punchy pop-punk outfit hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, known for their scrappy, high-energy tunes and tongue-in-cheek takes on modern life. Active since the early 2000s, they’ve carved out a niche with their catchy hooks, witty lyrics, and a sound that blends garage-rock grit with melodic punk simplicity. Their 2015 split release with **Hospital Job** and albums like *At a Loss* and *Lessons on Love, Sharing, and Hygiene* showcase their knack for balancing sarcastic humor with earnest critiques of consumer culture and everyday absurdities. While they’ve maintained a DIY ethos, their work resonates with fans of bands like The Copyrights or Direct Hit!, perfect for blasting at basement shows or while side-eyeing the rat race.
