Search - The Meddling Kids :: The Meddling Kids

The songs are well-written, hook-laden bursts of cool. And it's the band's heavier big amp, big riff approach that brings the rock. The Kids prove melody doesn't always have to be placid or soft. And an opening track Let Her Go is a smash hit just waiting to smash - Frank DeBlase, Rochester City Newspaper Just what I needed a Rochester-based hard pop powerhouse to kick my jaded Gen-X butt. If The Meddling Kids are any indication, apparently there's nothing better to do in the snow belt except overindulge in a whole lot of blissfulicious ear candy, learn the tricks of dynamics and hooks, and then churn out a fresh, youthful take on the kind of music we thirty-somethings used to scream along to...at the mall. Wearing way big hair. Yes, their originals are a melodic, hard-driving pop worthy of repeated listens. But their cover songs are a huge treat. Rick Springfield, anyone? How about a super-duper cover of I've Done Everything For You done...get this...without irony. The Meddling Kids are radio-friendly, fun, cute and insanely marketable. I don't know what you want, I don't know what you need, goes What You Want. Boys, don't sell yourselves short you know exactly what I need. More Meddling Kids! - Lexi Kahn, Low Budget Super Hero With a marketable and versatile rock sound, their music is widely accessible and I'm sure if you give it a listen you will be hooked. Songs like Goodbye and Let Her Go have the standard mainstream sounding guitars, but with a certain hard rock riffing that makes them stand above the rest of the today's modern rock ilk. To put it simply, if you were to take the rock uniqueness of, let's say, a Bowling for Soup, then add to it catchy rock guitars of Blink-182, you would have something close to the sound emanating from TMK. - Brian Campbell, Rochester At Home
