Having gained an ardent cult following with their 2021 debut ‘This Time Next Year’ and the rollicking 2022 follow-up ‘Here’s What You Could Have Won’, Kid Kapichi arrive with their third album in as many years – a testament from one of the UK’s hardest working bands, and one who preach a message of urgency.
It was punk royalty Frank Carter who first spotlighted the band after inviting them to play at his birthday party before inviting them on tour. From then, it was a steady ascent that saw their fearless and socially-conscious tales of modern life take Kid Kapichi from some struggling mates with day jobs to their lockdown-busting debut ‘This Time Next Year’ being independently released and making their mark on the scene – before follow-up ‘Here’s What You Could Have Won’ arriving with a full label release. The record received praise from Liam Gallagher and laid the foundation in the hearts of the UK rock faithful for the ambitious album to come.
“It’s been a fun, rough ride,” admits Wilson of the band’s journey through obscurity and pub backrooms to becoming the threat to the mainstream they are today.
