Breaking act: Kid British

Kid British
Dan Cairns

Listen to Kid British

Who are they?

A four-piece from Manchester, Kid British write breezy and outrageously hook-ridden rude-boy ska-pop that will, judging by the four tracks on their album sampler, soon be all over radio and riding high in the charts. Their debut single, Elizabeth, an account of British currency, bearing the head of our monarch, but increasingly elusive as payday becomes a distant memory, is just this side of being infuriating. The other three songs are equally immediate and modish in the extreme (plenty of 1970s soft-pop buttons are pushed), combining Madness, Small Faces, Blur, Kaiser Chiefs — and ELO. You’ll need to be particularly strong to resist this lot.

When’s the single out?
