Kid, Feral
2019

Kid, Feral from Skövde, Sweden, has been a breath of fresh air in the screamo scene since their debut LP “Live and Let’s Die!” in 2018. Their sophomore LP “2019” is out on the 29th of May 2026 via the Oslo-based label Backpack Records. The album is an 8-track album epic that, due to hardships, failed relationships, grave bodily injury and personal ruination, took 7 years to finish, and it’s now finally ready to be released into the world!

"2019" is an album written in our youth and released at the dawn of our middle age. Writing actually began even back in 2018, and the drums on the record are from October 2019. The rest has been laboured over tirelessly since then, with a huge number of guitar tracks, bass tracks that have been written and re-written several times. We were very keen to make a record that felt intuitive to us, but that didn't sound like any other band. We really want to push the genre into something new and inspire people to do something different.

All of the album was recorded by us in our shitty rehearsal space, and it is 100% mixed and mastered by us. The album is poorly recorded, which gives it a lo-fi kind of vibe. But then there's 8 years of thought, planning, extremely detailed mixing and re-do stuff, which gives it depth and character in all its shittiness and makes it a fun mess to listen to. Also, the master was kind of consciously made to feel a bit warm, which allows you be able to turn up the volume more than those super harsh and treble-focused screamo records. Glorious!

Kid, Feral consists of: Vile Hartman (Guitar & Vocals), Jesper Sundell (Drums), Jonathan Holmström (Bass) and Jack Smith Insulander (Guitar)

FFO: Kid Crash, JR Ewing, Snøras, Raein and La Quiete
