Good Kid Unveils Highly Anticipated EP “Good Kid 4” and Kicks Off Massive Tour
Good news for fans of the Canadian indie-rock sensation, Good Kid – the band has just released their long-awaited EP, “Good Kid 4“, accompanied by a vibrant and joy-filled music video for their single “Dance Class”. This exciting release marks the beginning of their largest tour to date, promising an unforgettable experience for audiences worldwide.
Lead vocalist Nick Frosst describes “Dance Class” as a nostalgic journey, capturing the awkward yet exhilarating moments of high school dances. The track beautifully encapsulates the feeling of mustering up the courage to ask someone to dance, set against the backdrop of a dimly lit gym and the pulsating beats of a DJ.
The music video for “Dance Class“, directed, choreographed, and produced by Stephanie Romero and Nick Joseph, adds another layer of visual storytelling to the band’s narrative. Good Kid approached the duo after being impressed by their use of Good Kid songs in their previous projects. Romero and Joseph express their gratitude for the collaboration, highlighting the organic evolution from an impromptu video project to the creation of an official music video.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. “Good Kid 4” also features previously released singles like “Summer” and “Bubbly”, which have garnered attention from Billboard and earned the band recognition as one of Canada’s rising stars. The EP’s standout track, “From The Start”, has already amassed an impressive 28 million streams, further solidifying Good Kid’s position in the indie-rock scene.
Reflecting on the EP, guitarist David Wood shares that “Good Kid 4” is a culmination of the band’s journey over the past two years, showcasing their growth and evolution as musicians. From anthems of friendship and anxiety to odes to endless summers, the EP encapsulates the essence of Good Kid’s musical identity.
One of the band’s unique attributes is their commitment to fostering a creator-friendly environment. With a content ID and DMCA-free discography, Good Kid actively encourages content creators to use their music without fear of copyright issues. This approach has led to collaborations with some of the biggest names in the digital space, including Mr. Beast and Julien Solomita, catapulting Good Kid into the online spotlight.
Beyond their digital presence, Good Kid’s impact extends to the traditional music scene. Nominated for Breakthrough Group Of The Year at the 2024 JUNO Awards, the band continues to captivate audiences with their electrifying performances and innovative storytelling.
At its core, Good Kid is more than just a band – it’s a community united by a shared love for music and creativity. With their infectious energy and inclusive ethos, Good Kid invites fans to join them on a journey filled with joy, passion, and unforgettable memories.
As Good Kid embarks on their largest tour yet, one thing is clear – the best is yet to come for this dynamic ensemble. So mark your calendars, grab your dancing shoes, and get ready to experience the magic of Good Kid live in concert.
