Eight members, and all of them in their teens (or just pushing over into their twenties). Nope, it's not the cast list from the latest series of Skins, it's trendy Chicago outfit Kids These Days.
Serving up a classy blend of smooth, laid back jazz and loose raps, the band manage to sound at once surprisingly mature and also possessed of a throbbing, youthful spirit.
Their five track EP Hard Times is a real treat, especially the title track; riding high on sax riffs, soulful vocals and funky basslines. It's a rich sound for a band so young, but they wear it well.
The Hard Times EP can be downloaded from iTunes here.
