Cut the Kids

Benzo.
Leo.
Kris. Cut the Kids are a brand spanking new 3 piece indie/electro conglomerate hailing from the thriving metropolis that is Bury. It's not a town best known for it's music (other than Elbow although they often deny that they're from Bury and argue instead that they're from the infinitely cooler city of Manchester). But that aside, Cut the Kids are a genuinely quite exciting band amidst the fog of uninteresting metalcore and drab Arctic Monkeys tribute acts that pollute pubs and clubs across the nation.
