Kid Tested

I’ve always liked Ohio bands (except The Black Keys, but I don’t really want to open this topic) so here is one that I got submission from last week and caught my attention. Alternative rockers Kid Tested just released their second album “Lost on Purpose” available for free streaming via their Bandcamp:

The band hails from Cleveland with a sound which ranges from driving power ballads like, “Accelerate,” to crafted and orchestrated riff rock songs like, ”This is a Joke,” and to “pretty songs” like, “Promises.”

You’re definitely not gonna be bored during their live performances as they’re known for their bass player’s goofy stage antics and the singer’s predilection for wearing wigs and fake mustaches. They have performed Studio-A-Rama in Cleveland twice, played with Mission of Burma and now are hitting the road  for the next 6 months in support of this album and a third album set to come out no later than spring.

Kid Tested are singer and guitar player, Shawn Mishak, bassist Dominic Ricciardi, and drummer Jim Beil. Here they are playing NYC:
