KID SAM

Cousins Kishore and Kieran Ryan form the melted, subverted, deconstructed troubadour duo Kid Sam. They make songs that traverse themes of violence, romance and the politics of the everyday, distilling the history of intelligent song writing within them. Kieran's fluid and gritty guitar playing is the vehicle for songs that are remarkably well crafted and timeless. The drums are constantly reassessing their shape as Kieran's rich vocals romance the listener. The result is subtle, subversive folk/rock'n'roll/pop.However, what makes Kid Sam a genuine talent is simply that they make powerful, truly great Australian songs.
