Emerging “power punk” sensations KID KAPICHI have released a brand new single, “Newsnight”, stream it HERE! The energetic cross-examination is one of four new recordings featured on the band’s digital deluxe version of their sophomore album 'There Goes The Neighbourhood', out now on Spinefarm.

KID KAPICHI comments on the new single:

“In a world where alternative facts rule and the post-truth era is in full effect - who can we trust?

The all-seeing eye of first-person phone footage provides the world with an unfiltered account of events as they unfold; and when that doesn’t match up with the broadsheet headline or the scripted dialogue of your local news anchor, we must ask what the agenda truly is.

‘Newsnight’ questions whether the media want us well informed or scared & divided; duped into squabbling over toilet roll while atrocities are committed overseas & on home turf, only to be intentionally distorted and misreported by the big brother of mainstream media.

We say stay vigilant and always question the narrative. Not in a tin foil hat way though; the earth is round.”

The new digital deluxe version of their acclaimed album 'There Goes The Neighbourhood'features two new songs, “Newsnight” and “The Sun Never Sets On Planet Cool” and two live recordings, “Artillery” and “New England” featuring Dumb Buoys Fishing Club, recorded at The O2 Forum Kentish Town.

Currently laying waste to venues across Europe with Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, vocalist/guitarist Jack Wilson commented:

“Last time we were out on the road with Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes was in 2019 before anybody had even heard of the word Covid or even the words ‘KID KAPICHI’. It’s safe to say Frank gave us our first break as a band and we owe him and the rest of the guys a lot. This tour is going to be a real celebration of our love for them and all of you in Europe. You know we can’t stay away too long.”

Kicking off 2025 in style, KID KAPICHI will join the likes of Parkway Drive, Nothing More and The Struts on the ShipRocked Cruise starting in Miami. Next spring, the four-piece will join You Me At Six on select dates of their farewell tour "The Final Nights Of Six". While on this run, KID KAPICHI will play a string of intimate shows on their "Up Close & Personal ..Back To The Neighbourhood" tour which is set to be raucous! Setting course for the summer, the band were also announced for 2000 Trees last week.

KID KAPICHI released their new album 'There Goes The Neighbourhood' on March 15th to glowing reviews and overwhelmingly positive fan reactions. Their third album in as many years, 'There Goes The Neighbourhood' is a statement of intent from one of the UK’s hardest-working bands - a band who preach a message of urgency. It’s a record that does what KID KAPICHI do best – make a real connection in the here and now, running the gamut of love, loss and what it means to be alive in Britain today.

“I know it’s a cliche, but this really is our best work ever. We put everything into this record, but actively decided not to stray too far from the path of ‘Here’s What You Could Have Won’, as we felt there was still more ground to be covered and honed on that vibe,” says frontman Jack Wilson.

“Lyrically and musically, it’s more concise, meaningful and deliberate, which ties everything together really well; it feels like a collection of songs from the same family.”

KID KAPICHI's journey from their roots in Hastings to international acclaim has been nothing short of extraordinary. With a sound that combines the urgency of punk with establishment-challenging and socially charged tongue-in-cheek lyrics, the band have carved out a unique space in the music scene.
