Kids Without Instruments (KWI) began as a dream that would later turn reality when two star-crossed-socially-awkward children met on the popular social media site Tumblr.  Their identities are FrankJavCee, 20 an 8-Bit, SNES RPG enthusiast producer/singer/songwriter and Marion, 19 a shooting star singer/songwriter, who together began making melancholic pop beats in 2011.
 
Frankie was a marching band geek from East LA, wrote songs acoustic songs about cats and crows, while Marion was a catholic school girl who swam on the swim team and believed she was a mermaid.  Frankie would upload various 8-bit versions of pop songs on YouTube, while Marion uploaded acoustic covers on her site.  Both being children of the internet they met via their similar interests in the band Crystal Castles, whom they cite as an inspiration. 
 
Over Facebook messenger they would send each other beats, and in the Spring of 2011 wrote some of their first songs even before meeting in person.  Frankie later moved to Long Beach after being accepted to CSULB (California State Long Beach) where Marion also went, both majoring in film.
 
One fate filled summer night between roaming around the wilderness and going on a spirit quest, Kids Without Instruments began as an ironic inside joke.  However starting a band ironically later led to the completion of their first self titled debut EP self released on 11/11/11 cause it seemed like a lucky date. They then spent the rest of the Fall and Winter of 2011 playing shows in local Long Beach venues solving mysteries in a Ford Windstar 1999.
 
Kids Without Instruments eventually found their way to some indie music industry ears, and were recently signed by Benjamin Groff of Kobalt Music Publishing, whose client roster includes: Skrillex, Bon Iver, Cut Copy, Gotye, Yeasayer, Kid Cudi, Band of Horses, LMFAO, Beck and  Tiesto,
 
Kids Without Instruments hopes to one day start a charity that would give solar powered keyboards to children so that under privileged youth and the youth of third world countries can find the power in electronic music.
 
Kids Without Instruments use a laptop with a MIDI controller, yet sometimes use instruments on stage.  This is as an ironic statement about the music industry and it's reliance on computers and produced dance tracks.  The band name Kids Without Instruments also reflects the ever growing popularity of music created without conventional instruments, as well as a political statement about how the children of the world with music in their hearts don't have the ability to possess instruments.
 
We are Kids Without Instruments.  We don't play instruments.  Except on stage.

(b. 1987, Utah) Crossing boundaries is a feature of Hannah Epperson's life and music—from residence in the US and Canada to nearly 300 live performances in North America, Europe and the Middle East. Singled out by Bandcamp as “one of the most stunningly unconventional artists making music today,” renowned musicologist/critic Ted Gioia chose her debut album Upsweep as one of the Top 3 recordings of 2016, calling it “unique, haunting, addictive.” Classically trained, her genre-bending violin looping and singing was enriched by apprenticeships with the fiddler of acclaimed Deseret String Band and studio work and performances with Fleet Foxes, Julianna Barwick and Ry X. A graduate in Human Geography, a member of Canada’s world champion Ultimate Frisbee Team, Hannah embodies music as a bridge, gathering soundscapes and people together in transfiguring moments of live and studio performances.

☆ PRINCESS OF POWER (DELUXE) ☆ OUT NOW
https://marina.lnk.to/POPDeluxe

MARINA returns transformed on PRINCESS OF POWER — a euphoric, high-energy exploration of healing, empowerment, and self-reclamation. Written during a period of deep personal reflection, the album marks a turning point for the platinum-selling artist. Where 2021’s Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land looked outward at a fractured world, PRINCESS OF POWER turns inward, embracing vulnerability as strength, turning pain into power and the radical optimism of love.

Now releasing independently through her own label, Queenie Records, in partnership with BMG, MARINA sheds old expectations and fully steps into her own. The album pulses with disco-lit electro pop and lyrical declarations of freedom, feminine energy, and love. Tracks like “BUTTERFLY,” “CUPID’S GIRL,” and “CUNTISSIMO” reflect a woman reborn and thriving on her own terms.


MARINA burst on to the scene in 2009, and has since released five acclaimed albums including Electra Heart (2012), which debuted at Number 1 on the UK’s Official Charts, FROOT (2015), Love + Fear (2019), which debuted Top 5 in the UK and Top 10 on the U.S. Albums chart, and most recently Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land (2021), which featured the Ivor Novello nominated hit “Man's World.”

With PRINCESS OF POWER, MARINA isn’t just making music - she’s building a future rooted in authenticity, creativity, and courage. It’s MARINA as you’ve never seen her, yet never more herself. The deluxe version of the album is out now and features four new songs, including “EVERYBODY KNOWS I’M SAD - REMIX” with Absolutely.
