Biography

Blending the punchy riffs of J-rock, the immediacy of indie rock, and the raw edge of pop-punk, Good Kid have spent the last few years quietly building something larger than a typical band trajectory. Entirely independent, they’ve amassed hundreds of millions of streams across their catalogue, a fiercely participatory fan community, and a reputation as one of the most creator-friendly projects in modern guitar music. They’ve made their entire discography Content ID-free and DMCA-free, empowering creators across Twitch, YouTube, and more to use their songs without fear of takedowns. Their songs now soundtrack everything from community-made animations to major gaming broadcasts, becoming part of the internet’s shared vocabulary.

Recorded in Los Angeles with Grammy-winning producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Wallows, Lana Del Rey), the band's debut album Can We Hang Out Sometime? delivers the high-energy hooks and inventive riffs that have become a hallmark of their sound, while boldly pushing into new territory. Longtime fans will find the signature Good Kid bangers they’ve come to love, but also hear the band exploring fresh textures, rhythms, and sonic twists, in their grittiest offering yet.

To celebrate Can We Hang Out Sometime?, Good Kid will hit the road for an extensive 2026 tour, kicking off April 10 in London, ON and winding through major cities across the US and Canada before heading overseas for some of their biggest UK and European shows to date. Several shows have already sold out, leading to additional performances being added, including a second night at Danforth Music Hall in Toronto, and at Brooklyn Steel in New York City.
