NATURE KIDS + EVA KISS

Nature Kids, the vibrant Leeds-based band, has been making waves with the release of three new singles since the start of the year - fans can also look forward to a new single dropping in July. This momentum has earned them coveted slots at this year's Green Man Festival and Deer Shed Festival. Their latest single, "Free Falling," propelled them to the Rising Competition Final at Cardiff’s Clwb Ifor Bach, which then lead to the collaboration with Come Play With Me Records and the Deer Shed Festival. Recent highlights also include a unique performance at Wakefield's Hepworth Gallery.

“Eminent janglers based out of Leeds, Nature Kids, as the name suggests, take a few cues from the Pavement extended universe. Their sound is willfully ramshackle, an easeful charm screening trouble beneath the surface. Singer Rory Welbrock guides us between moods, often shifting meaning within the syllables of one sensitively wobbled line.” Hard Of Hearing Magazine - 2024
