I read a revue from this album in a BMX magazine a while back and then I heard a song from them (Sonic Girl) in a BMX Video and decided I had to have this Cd, and I must say, I found it very impressive. I like the fact that thay have horns, but it's not really ska. The only problem I found with this CD is it took me like 3 months to get it. I reccomend this CD. Buy It.

When I first heard these guys I didn't know what to expect. I saw the name and thought hardcore rock-rap. But five seconds into the first song and I was amazingly surprised! One of my favorite bands is Rocket from the Crypt and you can tell from listening to this album that they're Kid Chaos' favorite too. Each song explodes with an intense energy that is hard to find on studio recordings. There are horns in the band, but you could never mistake them for a ska band. This is a furious paced genuine Rock'n Roll album! Another great thing about this CD is the way every song is different from the one before it. There is nothing worse than putting in a CD and not being able to tell when one song ends and another begins. I can't say enough good things about Kid Chaos. It's only a matter of time until the world is taken over by the storm that is Kid Chaos!

So you guys want to do the punk thing, but you want to be "different." So you think and you think and you think, and what do you come up with? Ah! You'll do the ska horns without the ska music. Fine. But how exactly will that set you apart from all the other No Doubt/Green Day/Sublime/Blink 182 clones out there? It won't. This CD is nothing the listening audience doesn't already hear every six minutes on modern rock radio. I'll give you points for the clever lyrics, though. That alone sets you apart from the rest of the crowd. Now please--just do something about the MUSIC.

That said, I predict that you guys will be HUGE. God help us.
