Kidstreet have released their second album titled "Fuh Yeah". This album features two versions of X and song that came from the X EP. The trio has an indie electro-pop feel to them and it seems to really work on their debut full length. The band has a similar sound to that of Woodhands, Dragonette, or MGMT. so if you like these artists, you could like this album. They have done a pretty good job here. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded fairly well, and the songs have a really nice polished sound to them. They are pretty simple, but they do sound good. The instrumentation on the album is pretty average. Kidstreet do a lot of electronic tinkering, among things, using keyboards and a drumkit to get their sound. This isn't really something that is going to amaze you, but it does have a nice enjoyable sound, and they can pull it off pretty well. 

Now onto the vocals and lyrics. Although some of the songs are pretty much instrumentals, the use of the vocals in songs seem pretty soft and give off a folky ambient feel with them. Their vocalist can sing, and she has a pretty soothing, clear voice. You can certainly make out what she is saying, and get the meaning of each song. All in all, solid vocals here. With the lyrics, the band goes for songs about infatuation, relationships, being wild, and more. With the way the lyrics are used, and the effects on them, its a little hard to get it, but they go with the style the band is going for. Not all of these songs are going to relate, partly because the meaning is a little skewed. The lyrics seem to be an offshoot of the electric sound they are going for. Not bad here, we do like it.

If you are looking for a single to the album, give "X" or "Song" your attention. You may have even heard song before as it was used in some ford car commercials. These two songs will really get you prepared for the rest of the album. 

Kidstreet have made an unusual album, but that doesn't mean it isn't great. We like what they have done here and it works. They have shown off what they are going for, and give them more to pull from in a live setting. We hope to see more and see how far they can pull this. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think about it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Kidstreet - X EP

1. X (Rampue Remix)
2. X
3. Spin Twirl
4. Song
5. X (Panic Bomber's Hard And Trendy All Night Long Remix)
6. X (Jeremy Glenn Remix)

Kidstreet have released their first album titled "X EP." Their album X is one that is pretty much a single for the song X with a few remixes of the song. The album also features two more songs which go along with their 80's electro synthpop feel. The band has done a pretty decent job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded fairly decently. As far as the instrumentation goes, this is what you would expect from a DJ, but it still has some uniqueness to it as this is more synth, Now onto the lyrics and vocals, the lyrics are pretty creative for not really having a meaning or story behind them and the female vocals have a bit of a way to them. We will however say that we really don't like the song "Spin Twirl" its pretty annoying. The combination of the lyrics and whatever they have done to the vocals on that song just don't fit with us. We suggest you listen to one of the X remixes. Kidstreet have done a pretty decent job on this album, we hope they keep it up and keep going with what they are trying but just get out there more, play more shows and get the name out. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.
