Rozwell Kid

About Rozwell Kid

Power pop-punk outfit Rozwell Kid began in 2011 as the solo project of West Virginia native Jordan Hudkins. While drumming for the Demon Beat, Hudkins began assembling his own album based on his love of '90s punk and post-grunge indie. Signing with Broken World Media to release The Rozwell Kid LP, Hudkins assembled a full-band lineup. With a sound resembling the tuneful fuzz pop of early Weezer, the band delivered 2013's Unmacho and 2014's Too Shabby, each one tighter than the last. Over subsequent tours, festival appearances, split singles, and EPs, Rozwell Kid's reputation grew, eventually bringing them to the attention of revered indie SideOneDummy, which signed them in 2017. Precious Art, their debut for the label, was released that June. ~ Timothy Monger
