Kid Kapichi Sign To Spinefarm Records & Release New Single “Rob The Supermarket”

Spinefarm Records have announced the signing of Hastings, UK four piece, Kid Kapichi. After putting out their debut album, This Time Next Year, independently in 2021, the band have signed a worldwide deal for follow-up Here’s What You Could Have Won. Deserved reward for all their graft. These 11 new songs are an excellent showcase for the band’s bigger, punchier, ‘beat punk’ sound, co-produced with Dom Craik from Nothing But Thieves. In the wake of this announcement, Kid Kapichi has also shared their new single and video, Rob The Supermarket.

A behemoth of a band on and off stage thanks to the Hastings scene that nurtured them, their best songs explore racism, in-work poverty, mental health, violence, frustration and all-consuming love with honesty and humour. All their songs come studded with barbed wire hooks, bristling with the juddering shock of lived experience, the cathartic thrill of a balled-up fist relaxing into an air punch. 

“Rob the supermarket is a song about a tear away forced into a tight spot who takes matters into their own hands regardless of the consequences. It’s a question about what is morally correct in times like these, with the cost of living going through the roof and food bank usage at an all-time high. But let’s be honest. For most people, there has always been a cost of living crisis. The title, ‘Here’s What You Could Have Won’ sums up the feeling of missed opportunity. Being dragged right at a junction when you know you should be going left or screaming at the TV whilst someone picks the wrong answer on a game show. It looks inwardly at the UK and the decisions that have been made and how they have affected us all.”
