Black Kids May Stop After One Album

The Black Kids know a thing or two about premature blog buzz. The Florida rockers generated plenty of it by globetrotting their tunes to eager and curious ears all before hiring management, signing a record deal and, well, actually recording. But that, too, came to pass and the Kids' debut album, 'Partie Traumatic,' was released in July. While the attention and accolades have done nothing short of bolstering the band's career, all of that may have taken its toll.

"I don't know if there's going to be a second record," singer/guitarist Reggie Youngblood tells Spinner. "If anything, [performing] has hindered my songwriting because I'm used to writing on my own pace, at my leisure, or while I'm supposed to be working a proper job. I don't really have time to sit down. When I'm not performing, I'm usually really tired and just want to sleep."

Youngblood and Co. are doing nothing to remedy their fatigue, however, as the band have dates scheduled worldwide through November 25. Might we suggest one thing: catnaps.
