Based out of Auckland, New Zealand, electro-pop duo Kids of 88 are a throwback to the pulsing sounds of the ‘80s. Jordan Arts and Sam McCarthy initially met in school after bonding over a shared love of music in an English class. Arts and McCarthy debuted their slithering, synth-heavy sound in 2008 and self-released their first single, “My House,” on their own <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Dryden+Street%22">Dryden Street</a> label in 2009. The song took off, eventually being certified platinum in New Zealand and drawing the attention of <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Sony+Music%22">Sony Music</a>. Kids of 88 made their full-length debut the following year with Sugarpills, and set out on the road in support of <a href="spotify:artist:6LqNN22kT3074XbTVUrhzX">Kesha</a> later that year. In 2011, the band followed up with the five-song Sugarpills EP. ~ Gregory Heaney, Rovi
