TVD New Orleans’ favorite British EDM act, Kids on Bridges have been lighting up the charts across the pond. This band played in New Orleans so long ago the genre “electronic dance music” hadn’t even gone mainstream yet.
The EP, released on Wall of Sound, includes remixes from West London Deep, Lisbon Kid , Drrty Data, and a cover of Mansun’s “Negative” as well as the band’s original version featuring Shea Seger from their Top 30 U.K. album, Kidology.
Consistent with Kids on Bridges two previous singles, “When The Needle Drops” is profoundly honest, looking at the modern culture of style over substance within the arts.
Frontman and hardcore New Orleans music lover, Christian Bragg explains, ”It’s never about the quality of the songs, movie or book anymore, but the stats on social media. What happened to just getting a DJ to play a song because it’s a good song and not because of the hype or the YouTube views it’s gained.
It should be about just playing a song that touches a nerve and that feeling you get when hearing a needle drop on the decks that shoots adrenaline through your veins and gives you a natural high.”
