“Meet KID KAPICHI, Liam Gallagher’s favourite new band…With their provocative political punk-rock, these rising stars from Hastings have been compared to The Streetsand Arctic Monkeys”
– The Telegraph UK
“If Britain is going to hell in a handcart then KID KAPICHI are the soundtrack”
– Classic Rock/ Louder Sound
“…smart, fearless and reflects a broken and rudderless Brexit Britain.”
– The New European
“An album of our time… ‘Here’s What You Could Have Won’ feels like a trash can rattling wake up call for the present moment.”
– Kerrang!
“If Idles’ diminishing returns and Fontaines D.C.’s stepping out of formation could see them waver as post-punk’s mainstream flag-bearers, KID KAPICHI effectively embracing being a big rock band could make them an obvious choice to pick up the torch with little hassle.” – Soundboard
“…with track titles like ‘Cops & Robbers’ and ‘Smash the Gaff’, it feels like if Guy Ritchie were an album, it would be this.”
- Sian Eleri (Radio One)
UK alt-punk quartet KID KAPICHI will at long last invade North America!
The Hastings-based outfit will play as direct support for breakout English rockers Nothing But Thieves on the North American leg of their upcoming “Welcome To The DCC” World Tour. With several shows already sold-out, the summer/fall trek kicks off on September 12 in Washington, DC, and concludes in Tempe, AZ on October 9. A complete list of dates can be found below.
Commenting on the announcement of their first tour in the US, Kid Kapichi lead vocalist + guitarist Jack Wilson shares,
“It’s a true honour to support NBT anywhere, but to get to do that whilst fulfilling every band’s dream of taking over the states is really the cream on top of the apple pie. We’re extremely excited to finally get the chance to meet some of our fans from the USA. It’s gonna get loud. We’re gonna get fat.”

The band are touring in support of an expanded digital version of their current studio album 'Here’s What You Could Have Won', complete with four extra tracks. These new additions are different versions of songs from the original album: a Remix of Radio Oneplaylisted single "Rob The Supermarket" by Bobby Wolfgang – frontman with punk-spirited Blackpool outfit, Strange Bones; stripped back, atmospheric renditions of "Tar Pit" & "Special", plus a live version of "Party At No. 10", the track that first attracted the attention of Liam Gallagher, who was so taken with the sentiment and the song that he invited KK to join him at a charity event at the Royal Albert Hall in London. This rousing, impassioned take on "Party…" was captured live at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill, near the band’s hometown of Hastings.
