And the Kids is a spunky trio who write self-reflective bummer pop jams. Hannah Mohan’s guitar playing is kinetic and aggressive; she bounces between walking scales with fuzzed out, alien tones and ringing out massive chords for the band to contextualize with their heavy-hitting drums and driving bass grooves. The harmonious vocal efforts of Mohan and the band blend to articulate personal revelations sometimes delivered in a round. drumstick between the teeth, playing the kit with one hand and a freakin’ glockenspiel with the other,

Recently called one of “the Western Mass. indie scene’s brightest creative lights” by Pitchfork, Northampton, MassachusettsAnd The Kids recently released their debut full-length album, “Turn to Each Other “ on Signature Sounds Records . Each Other is more than an album title: it’s a statement of fact for the band, whose bond — as musicians, friends and creative foils — is as tight as they come.

The album features 11 tracks full of ringing guitars from Hannah Mohan, knotty rhythms from drummer Rebecca Lasaponaro and bold accents from synthesizers and percussion by Megan Miller. Together, they create “apocaplyptic pop”, a dizzying stop-start ride with lush, intricate soundscapes that frame Mohan’s lively lead vocals. NPR Music recently raved, “Guitarist Hannah Mohan’s striking vocals rival the vibrato and boldness of Siouxsie Sioux… [And The Kids] make music that’s both fearless and entertaining.”

An ongoing struggle with border issues for Miller, a Canadian citizen, initiated the addition of bassist Taliana Katz to the touring ensemble. Katz made her debut as part of the band at their NPR Tiny Desk Concert and continues to carry the energy of the album to the stage.
