Middle Kids have signed on to EMI Music Australia alongside their signing to Domino for North America.

The three-piece, led by vocalist / guitarist Hannah Joy, and producer / multi-instrumentalist Tim Fitz, with Harry Day on drums, first came to public attention with the release of their debut single ‘Edge Of Town’ in May last year. Sir Elton John declared himself a fan of the song, added it to his Apple Music playlist and aired it on his Beats 1 radio show.  Triple J placed the song on high rotation, while in the US, the song has had airplay support on over 30 AAA/Alt stations. To date, ‘Edge Of Town’ has accumulated over 3 million streams on Spotify. Not bad for a band that, when they recorded the single, hadn’t played a single show.

Now, Middle Kids have shows in Australia, America, and Europe under their belt; they’ve recorded sessions with WFUV and WXPN’s World Cafe; and they’re getting ready to head out on tour across America with Cold War Kids, with headline shows and a stop at SXSW also plotted.  They will return to Australia in April for three key East Coast tour dates.

In celebration of their signing to EMI Australia, Middle Kids are pleased to share the video for brand new single ‘Never Start’, directed by Emile Freeman. 

 

 

Middle Kids’ self-titled debut EP will be released February 17. 

Featuring 6 tracks, including  ‘Your Love’ and ‘Edge Of Town’ plus brand new single ‘Never Start’, it was produced by the band’s Tim Fitz.
