They were supposed to be somebodies. In 2007 when music blogs ruled the world (RIP Music Blogs 2005-Whenever Gorilla Vs. Bear dies) Black Kids took the world by storm with their Myspace-released EP The Wizard of Ahhhs, gaining major hype form blogs and traditional media alike, including an 8.4 out of 10 rating from Pitchfork. Then everything went to hell when their LP Party Traumatic came out and Pitchfork’s review of the album was a picture of two pugs standing next to each other, a caption that read “Sorry :/” and rating of 3.3. They never quite recovered. But hey, it’s been six years and the band is still going, so in the parlance of the times, “fuck the haters.” There are rumors of a new album and the band’s been touring since late 2013, so maybe we have a comeback story on our hands.
