From the centre of Canada, futurekids deliver upbeat yet melancholy rockers infused with blips of pop culture references. The project's debut EP, 2014's Say Goodnight to the Machines, released through Inservice Records, was mastered by Juno-winner Jamie Sitar (Destroyer, You Say Party) and reached #38 on the Canadian national chart.

The group's second release, This is Everything, was recorded in an Ontario cabin and features 13 songs that are not dissimilar to The Rentals, Wilco, and Angel Olsen. With its peak position at #14 on the Canadian national chart and lead single "White Girl in a Wu-Tang Shirt" being named Diamond Deposits' top track of 2015, the next logical step for the band was to obviously release Like Like, an EP of covers.

After headlining such venues as The Park Theatre, The Windsor and The Rachel Browne Theatre for Nuit Blanche, in addition to sharing the stage with such acts as the Wet Secrets, Gay Nineties and Ghost Twin, futurekids changed its status from "live band" to "recording project" in 2017.
