Good Kid is a five-piece pack of rambunctious indie rockers from Toronto, a jack-of-all-trades ensemble of musicians, programmers, and storytellers. Blending their skills with their J-rock, indie-rock, and pop-punk influences, they’ve turned the band into a massive internet art project. With a visual focus on their fictional character called Nomu, the band has created video games, curated inclusive spaces for their fans online, and struck a chord with some of the largest content creators in the world. Their music was featured on a recent MrBeast video, in the game Fortnite, and they are endorsed by content creators from the likes of Wilbur Soot, TommyInnit, and Ph1LzA. The single “No Time to Explain”, from their new EP Good Kid 3, has garnered millions of streams on Spotify, and has been featured on radio stations such as Alt Nation, Alt 94.7, Out of Order with Ted Stryker, and more. With two sold-out headlining US tours in 2022, support runs for Lovejoy’s a sold-out UK and EU tours, and a nearly sold out headline tour in May 2023, it’s clear that Good Kid’s online following translates into the physical world in a truly substantial way.
