Ralph's Indie Show on Radio KC - Vol 124

Introducing the new 6 track concept E.P from Electronic Rock extraordinaires 'Stop Drop Robot'   

Join the band in a trip through time in a body of work the is pushing boundaries in every sense. The E.P's first two tracks are based on the bands predictions of the future; the title track 'Cerebral Eviction Notice' paints the picture of a not so distant utopian state of tomorrow, in which citizens run the risk of being evicted from their bodies by the state. 

Songs 3 and 4 of this E.P are about the present. Tilikum is a track about a killer whale by the same name that recently starred in a hugely popular documentary called 'Blackfish' who has become somewhat of an unlikely hero, the film itself has started a controversial movement that is threatening to shut down Seaworld and end the captivity or Orca whales. The band however simply present a track about what it would be like to swim with the killer. 

Murder The Drums is a track about how modern day pressures and worries can bombard an individual but music can elevate you to a place of peace. The song features legendary drummer Joe Green of Milburn / Dead Sons fame. 

The last two songs of the E.P are about the past. Remembrance Day explores the idea of humanities historical romanticism of violence and how people have glorified killing throughout the ages.

In Paint it Black shit gets biblical; its a track that has been designed to lure the listener into a false sense of security, it features an easter egg that allows the band to finish this E.P on a huge high. Lyrically the song is about 'the human condition', how we are wired to conquer and seek out adventure yet we maintain a constant flirtation with depression and how we will never truly know what the purpose of our existence is.

Kids On Bridges release ‘When The Needle Drops’ from their Top 30 UK charting Debut Album which is brimming full of instant hooks and electronic grooves which combine here to provide an instant ear worm.

Following Kids On Bridges recent critically acclaimed singles ‘Walls’ and ‘Bankers To Feed’ and a support slot with Grammy winner Beck, the band now release ‘’When The Needle Drops’ from their top 30 UK debut album ‘Kidology’.

‘When The Needle Drops’ is brimming with instant hooks and is certainly the most electronic outing by the Liverpudlian trio to date. Described as Phoenix meets New Order and reminiscent of Bowie’s ‘John I'm only Dancing’, this is a heavy electro dance groove and instant ear worm. The single has a new dimension sonically as it features guest vocals by Shea Seger who has a number of A-list fans including Elton John, Madonna (insert falling over joke here) and film director Cameron Crowe. In fact, Crowe is such a fan he named a character after her in his film ‘So We Bought a Zoo’ - it doesn't get much better than that! 

Consistent with Kids on Bridges two previous singles ‘When The Needle Drops’ is profoundly honest, looking at the modern culture of style over substance within the Arts as frontman Christian Bragg explains:

”It’s a little tribute to Maverick label boss Anthony H Wilson and Factory it was always about the music and the vibe now in the industry its never about the quality of the songs, movie or book anymore, but the stats on social media. What happened to just getting a DJ to play a song because it’s a good song and not because of the hype or the Youtube views it’s gained. It should be about just playing a song that touches a nerve and that feeling you get when hearing a needle drop on the decks that shoots adrenaline through your veins and gives you a natural high.”

Kids On Bridges bring a refreshingly direct approach to proceedings and that is exemplified with ‘When The Needle Drops’ both musically and visually as the accompanying video strikes home the message behind the song perfectly with faceless dummies taking centre stage. It is fair to say their message has been received loud and clear.
