Red Kid draw on the rawness of late 70´s new wave, ska and punk, and inject it with freshness difficult to pin down. Their live shows are legendary with the boundless energy of lead singer Ronan and the tight backbeat, killer harmonies of the band, it has been described as effortlessly swinging from punk to pop.
Founded in 2003, they have a shoeless craz'd front-man, a busker from the streets of Barcelona, a drummer with a wacky style of beats, one Beatle-esk Liverpool rocker and a giant of a bass player.
