With the release of Puppies Forever, BLACKSTARKIDS are well on their way to indie stardom and have received critical acclaim and praise from, New York Times, MTV, UPROXX, Billboard, Forbes, Alternative Press, Consequence, SPIN, NME, Interview Magazine, Paste, AV Club, Ones To Watch, Rolling Stone France, The Line Of Best Fit, DIY, Coup De Main, and more for their shimmering Gen-Z anthems. Previous single “PISS DRUNK KIDS” revels in the freedom of being intoxicated with your friends as a means of distracting yourself from negative emotions and life’s problems while “ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS*” is a political, pop punk inspired anti-authoritarian anthem that hits back at police brutality, abuse of authority, and inherently oppressive systems. “FIGHT CLUB” sees BLACKSTARKIDS’ Ty, Deoindre, and The Babe Gabe launch out of the gate and directly into your faces as they ooze with swagger and trade off verses with ease while serotonin-laced indie pop bop “JUNO” has been described as “the sort of rare track that combines all your teenage phases into one intoxicating amalgamation” by Ones To Watch.
“Puppies Forever represents a time in our life that we wanted to document forever through the songs we were making,” says BLACKSTARKIDS on their debut. “We wanted to do something that was bold, colorful, and expressive and it means keeping a piece of your youth alive within you forever.”
