The Idiot Kids have been keeping punk weird since 2011. Based out of Detroit, they have the energy of punk, the roughened aesthetic of garage rock and the melodic sensibilities of art pop... This is music with shake-you-up hooks, frenzied tempos, gnarly guitars and anthemic vocals. Known for their live performances; they blend the theatricality of glam with the raw energy of hardcore.

​

"Wilted Bloom" is the second single off The Idiot Kids upcoming LP "Chapels" set to release December 1st. A song about the allure of relapse to an addicts brain and the constant fight against it. Also included with the single as a B-Side is the band's cover of Against Me!'s "Black Me Out". 

 

These tracks were recorded by the band in their practice space in a basement in Hamtramck, along with a few songs tracked at a cabin in Northern Michigan. Written, Engineered and Mixed by their lead singer and founder Jon-Mikal Bartee; this album fully represents the DIY heart of the group with some of their most raw and emotional tracks to date.
