A post today on Idolator indicated the Black Kids inked a label deal with Sony BMG-distributed Almost Gold Recordings, referencing a story on Billboard:

The much-buzzed-about Florida outfit Black Kids hasn’t played its CMJ showcase yet, but it’s already signed a record deal with the Sony BMG-distributed Almost Gold Recordings, home of other Internet darlings like Peter, Bjorn & John and Calvin Harris.

That is until Billboard updated it story stating:

Updating a story posted earlier today (Oct. 17), Jacksonville, Fla.-based indie rock act Black Kids has signed with Quest Management but has not inked a deal with the company’s affiliated Almost Gold Recordings.
…
Billboard.com understands Black Kids are in discussions with several labels but that no decision on a future home has yet been made.

One thing’s for sure. The first thing they need to do when they sign is get some new publicity photos.

I couldn’t be happier for them and they definitely deserve it. They’re heads must be spinning everything’s happening so fast.

This story is erroneous.

They’re still unsigned. Billboard corrected the article.

The rumor came around based on the fact that their manager runs Almost Gold.

Just wait… it’s coming.

I’ve heard things from the horse’s mouth that I don’t necessarily feel is my place to say on here, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they decided on a different label the last minute. Everybody’s trying to one-up others with exclusive information to the point that they’re retracting their retractions. But yeah, it’s definitely coming…soon.
