8kids is an impassioned post-hardcore band hailing from Germany, known for blending raw emotional intensity with a melodic approach that resonates with fans across the rock spectrum. Since their formation in 2013, the trio, consisting of vocalist and guitarist Jonas Jakob, drummer Hans Koch, and bassist Emma McLellan, has been carving out a niche within the German music scene, crafting songs that grapple with the complexities of youth, longing, and personal turmoil.

With their discography, including recent releases like "BLUTEN" and "Dein Zuhause," 8kids have established a reputation for gripping lyrics and powerful live performances, a prowess quite evident in their "Live In Leipzig 2019" album. Their music is a call to arms for the younger generation, tackling existential dread and a search for identity, as heard in tracks such as "Wir bleiben Kids" and "Denen Die Wir Waren." Their approach is both reflective and aggressive, with offerings like "Kann Mich Jemand Hören" and "Zerbrechen" capturing the raw energy and emotion that have become the group's hallmark. Despite the name, 8kids' music is anything but child's play— it is a testament to the struggles and triumphs of growing up and facing a world rife with challenges, embodied by anthems like "Zeit" and "Dämonen."
