Listen Up Kid create elaborately layered melodies and poetic lyrics, both of which embody the essence alternative rock. In fact, they blow the genre defining elements out of the water by tossing in the odd splash of metal, pop, electronic influences. The result is something that you have never heard before.“ - Samantha Stevens The Scene Magazine Since their formation in 2012, Listen Up Kid has become a household name in their hometown and it's surrounding area, winning over every audience with energetic, honest performances and infectious sing alongs.
