are a post pop-punk band based out of Rapid City, SD seamlessly blending the lyricism and sonic sensibilities of pop-punk with the raw grit and energy of grunge, hard rock, funk, and whatever the hell else strikes their fancy.
“By implanting Green Day-style
pop-punk hooks and a little RHCP
melodicism in the 90s Seattle sound,
the alt-rock band found
the perfect formula for
earwormy infectious appeal
inthe contemporary rock scene.”
-Amelia Vandergast, A&R Factory

Who are Outside Kids?
The Outside Kids are a self-described “Millennial core/pop-punk band” that formed out a mutual love of Warped Tour energy and pop-punk angst. Flamboyant, hilarious ADD moments and a general sense of “why the f*** not?” pervades their shows and music, and they are not limited by any constraint of genre, often playing shows with trombones, turntables, and multiple guitar changes. However, their core sound is easily identifiable to fans of mid-2000s Green Day and blink 182, Billy Talent, My Chemical Romance, Goldfinger, and Backseat Lovers.
The foursome has opened for pop-punk heavy hitters Brooklane and Camp Comfort, played Four Winds Music & Arts Festival in Sioux Falls and Rapid City, opened shows in Iowa and North Dakota, and is currently playing shows in support of their new single “Get Over It" all over the Midwest!
