I’ve Underestimated My Charm (Again):

Siblings Reggie and Ali Youngblood have created something fantastic in Jacksonville, FL. Unfortunately the recent JAX pedigree has been lacking. With talent like Limp Bizkit and Mace outshining the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Dereck Trucks in the national spotlight, it is good news to have a new fresh band that likes to have fun as the face of JAX.

The young and fresh Black Kids (myspace) are truly brand spanking new. Forming in 2006 and with only an EP (Wizard of Ahhhs) under their collective belt they have already gathered quite an impressive following in indie circles here and across the pond.The secret is how much damn fun they are! The way I like to describe them to my friends is this ... "Take the Cure, mix in some Beach Boy pop mentality, some mid 80's dance kicks, and then throw in some shout back chorus fun and you have the vibe of the Black Kids."

The lyrics are smart, the tunes are fun, and the band is quickly becoming something to pay attention to.

Black Kids are:
Reggie Youngblood - Vox/Guitar
Ali Youngblood - Vox/Keys
Dawn Watley - Vox/Keys
Owen Holmes - Bass
Kevin Snow - Drums
