Everybody Knows - 1978

Incredible Kidda band - Everybody Knows - Psycho P2608A

"Great!!. A good record at last. Good solid beat and the group actually sings in tune. This could chart (as they say in the biz). They sound young but aren't quite punk or new wave. I commend them for keeping their sound strong, simple and uncluttered."

Incredible Kidda band - Everybody Knows - Psycho P2608A

 "This insanely rare power-pop classic, changing owners at a price of £160, oozes teenage rebellion and guitar-fuelled mayhem.

The Incredible Kidda Band is one of the most obscure groups of the new wave genre, and only released four singles during their brief period of glory. This single alone, however, does not reflect the qualities of a band that were one of the greatest of their time. Last year Detour records released a collection of demos and studio tracks that is highly recommended."

INCREDIBLE KIDDA BAND - Everybody Knows - Last Laugh Records

"Someone maybe should have told Malcolm McLaren when he set out to form the Sex Pistols in 1976 that there already was extant a raunchier, punchier Bay City Rollers and that they weren’t from London either, but from Coventry. Melding perfectly everything perfect about the decade - from the glitter rock of Mud and the Rollers to the sing-along-sans-workism choruses of the Clash at their Hoople-est - the Incredible Kidda Band represent the legitimate sound of the British suburban teenage in all its tell-tale trappings (note, both sticks and mustaches brandished threateningly on the swanky single cover).   

A double A dose of the finest youth club strands of starry eyed punk and power pop, the first single by the Incredible Kidda Band is very nearly the lyrics to Trevor Whites Crazy Kids fleshed out and come to life.  Very succinctly:  KIDDA BAND RULE OK!".
