“We play better. We don’t spit on the public anymore, now we try to amuse them” says frontman Ludo Mariman of The Kids about their reunion in 1996, but things were different before. The Belgian band The Kids were one of the first international punk rock acts back in 1976 after the big punk movement from the United Kingdom. They are seen the answer to the Ramones, The Damned and Sex Pistols mixed with the rock ‘n roll sounds of Lou Reed. The Kids took their name pretty literarily as some of the band members were still underage at that time. But they soon found their own sound and were playing own songs instead of filling ¾ of their set with Ramones covers. Songs like ‘Fascist Cops’ may not be as offending anymore as they were in 1978, but after their reunion in 1996, they are still just as catchy! The Kids will make you scream your lungs out like the old punk days!
