Rozwell Kid is an American power pop band hailing from the small town of Martinsburg, West Virginia. Formed in 2011, the group was originally a solo project of frontman Jordan Hudkins, who used Rozwell Kid as an outlet to channel his love for catchy melodies, heavy guitars, and geeky humor. Over time, the lineup solidified with guitarist Adam Meisterhans, bassist Devin Donnelly, and drummer Sean Hallock. Hudwell Kid became known for their energetic and often whimsical approach to alternative rock, drawing comparisons to nineties rock giants like Weezer and the infectious vibes of pop-punk.

The band's discography is a testament to their relentless work ethic and DIY spirit, with releases that showcase a maturation in songwriting and production. Their 2017 album, "Precious Art," served as a breakthrough of sorts, earning them critical acclaim and a wider audience with its earworm hooks and relatable lyrics. Following albums such as "Too Shabby" and "Good Graphics," Rozwell Kid continued to tour extensively, bringing their raucous live shows to fans around the country. With a series of releases like "Dreamboats" and "The Rozwell Kid LP" they've developed a cult following, while "Rozwell Kid on Audiotree Live" captures the band's raw live energy and the intimate experience of their performances. "Grand Canyon" and "Dreamboats 2: A Real Chill Sequel" are among their more recent works, further solidifying their place in the indie music scene and showcasing their evolution both in sound and lyrical depth.
