Kids Like Us


Kids Like Us is an American hardcore punk band from north Florida that formed in 2003.

History

Kids Like Us was formed by Lars Lundquist and Brandon Hurst after the break up of xOne Fifthx. They were soon joined by guitarist Clint Penick and released a 5-song demo. Later that year, Kids Like Us signed to Knife or Death Records and released a self-titled full length. In 2004, Kids Like Us signed to Eulogy Recordings and released their second full length, Outta Control. After several member changes, the band released their final full length, The Game, and a split with label-mates the Mongoloids.
