Time to focus on what they refer to as "electro powerpop/punk". The members look like they can't decide if they're scene kids or neon-clad hipster wannabes. Just watching one of their revolting videos will make you hate this band. You should start praying that they never worm their way into your eardrums, but if you work in an environment where the local radio stations are playing in the background, this may be unavoidable and soon. What's even scarier is that this band is actually starting to build a fairly large fanbase around these parts. It takes serious skill to create a band that consists of every cliché in modern music - excessive autotune, repetitive synthpop beats, overusing the words "whoa" and "yeah" at every opportunity, flaunting money/women in their videos and basically acting like obnoxious douchenozzles. Somehow, These Kids Wear Crowns manage to outsuck them. You can thank this show for gems like Abandon All Ships! and Stereos, two of the worst bands I've heard in recent memory. If you just wet yourself, proceed to hit the "Back" button before you read any more of this review.Īs I said, the band recently won the last season of MuchMusic's "Disband", which is a show that gives unsigned bands around Canada the chance to play a song in front of a panel of corporate music judges. Take the ***tiest autotuned powerpop band you can think of and imagine something even worse. This is nothing short of an abomination of music. Don't think that I'm happy about that fact, either. Being that I live fairly close to Chilliwack, British Columbia, I have heard more about Disband's most recent winners than perhaps anyone on this website. Most people here have probably never heard of These Kids Wear Crowns. If you thought Stereos was bad.oh boy, this is a worse one, ladies and gents. Review Summary: Scraping the bottom of the rainbow-spattered barrel.
