Album Preview: KID YOU NOT "Never A Dull Movement"

"What do we have left? Seems everything's been done to death." Sung from the gut and straight from the heart, the powerful opening line from KID YOU NOT's full-length debut Never A Dull Movement fittingly questions the current state of the music business. And from that moment on, this Florida-based punk outfit answers back with an exhilarating, electrifying, full-on assault that will leave you wanting more. From the first moment of this record, you can feel its brilliance, purity and DIY spirit. Combining new school and old school influences (ranging from Iron Chic, Latterman and Red City Radio to 90's punk rock heroes Hot Water Music, Jawbreaker and Millencolin) with an exciting new sensibility, Never A Dull Movement never slows its fury of gruff vocals, melodic harmonies, pounding drums and infectious choruses. It's impossible to deny how engaging and downright fun this record is...the kind of record you turn up and sing along to with your fists in the air at the top of your lungs. An album about love, loss and the feeling of being lost (and not knowing exactly how you got there), it's also about moving on, accepting things you can't change and reflecting on the roads that got you there. One thing is for certain, ten blistering tracks just isn't enough. Striking hard with purpose, conviction and relevance, Never A Dull Movement is a massive step forward toward not only finding their sound, but also in living their lives to the fullest. If the strength of this record is any indication of what the future holds for Kid You Not, I can't wait to hear what comes next. Kid You Not may not save the world, or even punk rock, but fuckin' a...they saved me. (DER-576)
