MUSIC
So here comes a new generation of alternative music from Connecticut with Kids That Fly, four college friends from UConn graduating in 2021 during the pandemic. Their sound is both fresh and timeless. Their music would be at home in England or New England. Yes, fellow Connecticutian Rivers Cuomo of Weezer is perhaps an influence one might recognize in their driving uptempo music, but they also reach across the ocean to current Britpop (the singer has family in Liverpool) like Catfish and the Bottlemen or the 1975. Radio friendly bops or bangers, either way you say it, means these are the songs for youth in the summertime.
A quick scan of the Wikipedia page for Connecticut musicians was enlightening. We expected to see John Mayer but ended up being surprised to see so many other notables like Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, Liz Phair, Moby, MGMT. This is just a small list it turns out.
Check out Kids That Fly, who have already generated over 2 million streams on their song Kiss Her You Fool and released their hit single Trouble on May 14th.
