Labels are in the works. These things take time, there only 2 months into it.

So, no one knows about record label news for them?

I agree. As Oscar Wilde once said, "There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

You're nobody until someone calls you bullshit. Thanks for (re)posting saying. I didn't see the critique first go round, though I did hear about some backlash.

That was an (interesting?) analysis of the blog review movement or BM. Critics criticizing critics (ZZZZzzz)but not much meaningful commentary on what he didn't like about the black kids. Typical racist. Anyhow, I get all my criteekin' from www.RicottaPark.com. Thats not bullshit.

And thanks joey for posting the remixi. I have been jamming the beige but the hoodi is goodi too.

I kind of understand what the guy on Idolator is saying on SOME points but I think people are taking a lot of what he is saying at face value. Although I'm sure that Black Kids don't particularly mind the publicity much at all, there are other direct, debilitating repercussions of being propelled into the limelight at such an extraordinary break-neck speed. They are a relatively young band in their embryonic stage that really holds their own considering their relative infancy, but with all of the attention, it really does set the level of expectations really high for them and they are EXPECTED to meet those expectations; anything below that is seemingly unacceptable. Most bands usually have a lengthy track record of touring, working their stuff out, and are hopefully then fully recognized when they're at their best. Whereas here, in this fledgling stage of development, is where people are witnessing them. You'll notice there seemed to be probably five 'copy-paste' reviews for every one review that was well written and thouroughly thought-out on the blogosphere but it serves well for exposure nonetheless; Exposure that the big players caught wind of, and as you know, in this era of 'you heard it here first', it's then becomes a self-perpetuating machine that cycles and recyles without hardly anymore effort on their part to make their presence known. Now they want more and they're going to have to give them more but it will most likely be done in haste which isn't conduscive to the natural rhythm of creativity. Everybody just simma down now...

Joey (or anyone): any info on what label they have signed with, or are probably going to sign with?

My bad. I shouldn't have been sayin!
