The original demo of “Little Dreamer” released in 2012 received recognition on social media from seventies rock icon Cherie Currie who fronted Joan Jett & Lita Ford’s first band The Runaways. Around this same time, “Little Dreamer” had also become the Mount Douglas Secondary Grad Class of 2013’s official graduation song. It was voted in by 240 kids & performed by a large choir led by Kidd at the graduation ceremony. In 2013 “Little Dreamer” won first place in the Canada wide song-writing contest My Song for Change promoted by renowned Canadian TV host George Stroumboulopoulos on CBC’s The Hour.

Unfortunately during contract negotiations an agreement wasn’t able to be reached. 2 of the bands’ members later had to return home to the United Kingdom & Endurance disbanded.
