KID KAPICHI Releases New Video for “Rob the Supermarket”

SPINEFARM SIGNS BRITISH FOUR-PIECE KID KAPICHI
 
NEW ALBUM HERE’S WHAT YOU COULD HAVE WON OUT SEPTEMBER 23 VIA SPINEFARM — PRE-ORDER HERE
 

Spinefarm/UMG is pleased to announce the signing of the British four-piece Kid Kapichi. After putting out its debut album This Time Next Year independently in 2021, the band has signed a worldwide deal for the follow-up Here’s What You Could Have Won — a deserved reward for all their graft. These 11 new songs are an excellent showcase for the band’s bigger and punchier, “beat punk” sound, co-produced with Dom Craik from Nothing But Thieves.

A behemoth of a band on and off stage, thanks to the Hastings scene that nurtured them, their best songs explore racism, in-work poverty, mental health, violence, frustration, and all-consuming love with honesty and humor. All their songs come studded with barbed wire hooks, bristling with the juddering shock of lived experience, and the cathartic thrill of a balled-up fist relaxing into an air punch. 

In the wake of this announcement, Kid Kapichi has shared the video for the new single “Rob The Supermarket.” 

“‘Rob The Supermarket’ is a song about a tear away forced into a tight spot who takes matters into their own hands regardless of the consequences,” says vocalist/guitarist Jack Wilson. “It’s a question about what is morally correct in times like these, with the cost of living going through the roof and food bank usage at an all-time high. But let’s be honest. For most people, there has always been a cost of living crisis.”

The new studio album Here’s What You Could Have Won, will be released on September 23 via Spinefarm. It features the comeback single “New England” — the band’s most explicitly political song yet, with a searing guest verse from Bob Vylan — and Partygate polemic “Party At No. 10,” which was praised by Liam Gallagher on Twitter, leading to Gallagher asking the band to support him at London’s Royal Albert Hall. It’s a brutal dissection of the xenophobic Little England mentality.

Frontman Wilson says, “The title, Here’s What You Could Have Won, sums up the feeling of missed opportunity. Being dragged right at a junction when you know you should be going left or screaming at the TV whilst someone picks the wrong answer on a game show. It looks inwardly at the UK and the decisions that have been made and how they have affected us all.”

Lead guitarist Ben Beetham adds, “It’s not a concept album but it does have a running theme. We like to write songs about current affairs and what direction the world seems to be turning. As a result, we write as close to the deadline as possible to keep it relevant.”
