Hastings lads Kid Kapichi are set to make one hell of a noise this year, unleashing their first cut and statement of intent today, 2019. “It’s an angry song that comments on the state of affairs that young people of varying backgrounds are left in in Britain at the moment”, explains vocalist Ben Beetham, “The lyric ‘what a shocker it must be, 19 turning 20 in 2019’ is a comment on the uncertainty and difficulty that a whole new generation are being thrust into this year at the beginning of their adult lives – decisions that have been made for them and not by them. The song is a call to arms for this generation to take control of their destinies”

2nd Mar – Think Tank, Newcastle
3rd Mar – Garage, Glasgow
5th Mar – Oporto, Leeds
