Cannibal Kids – “Worms” Review Bravado Press

Cannibal Kids – “Worms”: The South Floridians re-emerge with a song that should contribute to them breaking the proverbial glass ceiling. The trio’s latest is atypical of previously dropped songs and the vocals are a cross between Enrique Iglesias and 98 Degrees, which means vocalist/rhythm guitarist Damian Gutierrez sounds amazing. On “Worms”, the arrangement is unique compared to their older material and with the harmony just as hip as the songs of yesteryear, the lads are onto something special. Lead guitar is handled by Dustin Diaz and is fabulous accompanying Gutierrez. Drummer Luke Faulkingham holds his own keeping the beat and pace with his bandmates. Directed by Cecelia Hubbard, the song’s official video features Gutierrez playing acoustic guitar and then being flanked by charismatic and on-point dancers in several scenes. It is a sight to see and Cannibal Kids have themselves a well-written and well-crafted song on their hands that shows they have an expansive skillset as songwriters and performers. Shaemax Records should be proud of the job the guys have done thus far and “Worms” ought to serve them well on the college radio circuit, perhaps even slide into the mainstream.

“After doing a video shoot in the Everglades previously, I was incredibly inspired by the location and it set the tone for this track. As our tribute to the iconic 70’s band Bread, we hope people can listen to this while holding their parents under the stars and winds of the leafy glades.” – Damian Gutierrez (vocals/rhythm guitar)

Cannibal Kids – “JEANS”: Hailing from south Florida area, this premiere pop act on the rise has a great deal of momentum coming into 2022. Last year, the Shaemax recording artist earned over two million streams and given their latest bop, they very well may top that by the time 2023 rolls around. Their latest single screams Top 40 hit and is a beautiful balance between 80s new wave and modern pop that reiterates these fellas’ success thus far is just the tip of the iceberg. On “JEANS”, vocalist Damian Gutierrez/rhythm guitarist sings with pure emotion that will have listeners hanging onto every note. The drum performance from Luke Faulkingham is on point, helping make the song a surefire head-bobber. Along with Gutierrez, the work of lead guitarist Dustin Diaz is precise with the utmost charisma and is quite the showman in the song’s official video. In the vid written, directed, and edited by Brianna Piedra, the band is joined by Marty Quinn, who fits like a glove on the synth-heavy tune. The guys jamming out to a hot tune along with the storytelling and animation by Piedra is proof that this talented bunch’s good fortune deserves to continue.

Miami Indie-alternative Rock Band Cannibal Kids lead singer/songwriter Damian Gutierrez joins STRIKE A CHORD to discuss their latest hit track Jeans. So, why the band’s name Cannibal Kids?

Call Miami Vice! Their latest track Jeans opens with the lyrics “Maybe it’s time that I open up a pair of jeans just to say what’s up!” Opening your jeans for love can be scary. But don’t worry! The track Falling in Love at Wii Sports Resort has a great synth pop beat. According to the Cannibal Kids — “the future is digital, fall in love with a computer—BUT only if you have a high speed fiber internet—OR the Love Connection will be disconnected. This pandemic has got us anxious and questioning our sanity at the same time. Cannibal Kids Go Outside is the perfect track to describe how we’re all feeling right now. Support. Follow.

Relentless Reviews With Corbz: ‘JEANS’ Review

After working 12 days in a row, I’m happy I can sit back and relax and bring you this sunny new single with Cannibal Kids bringing you
JEANS
Now, with it being summer here in Melbourne Australia and the temperatures reaching 31 degrees (which is 87 degrees Fahrenheit for the US) it would be the perfect time to hear such a breezy pop rock delight such as this!
What makes this song so excited is it’s perfect blend of Pop Rock and Lo Fi/Ambient vibe to create what I can only describe is ‘Weezer on quaaludes’ which trust me is a great compliment!
I love the subtle vibe of the song, the lush and relaxing production paired with that pop punch of those popping synth keys along side those mellow drums that help harmonise the song and help balance those two upper mentioned styles together into one smooth track that is perfect for the warmer weather
The vocal performances are also nice in how subtle and quiet they are in context of the song. It kind of reminds me of the more recent tracks by ‘Twenty One Pilots’ and the pop oriented music they’ve started to incorporate into their music, it’s definitely a nice touch and suits this song perfect.
Overall, this is what I’d describe as the ‘next summer Super hit’ it’s colourful, groovy, catchy and sweet all in one. If your looking for a song that’s not too heavy on the production or instrumental elements then you’ve come to the right place, this is the song that will happily scratch that itch for you and have you coming back for more! Great effort guys!

Post Magazine: Music Video: Cannibal Kids – Jeans

Shaemax Records recording artists Cannibal Kids recently released a new video for their track Jeans. Directed and written by Brianna Piedra (@briipii), the video from the Miami-based band is a mixture of elements, including heavily-treated live-action and cut-out style animation.
Produced by Ionit Studios (@ionitstudios), the video was shot and edited by John Bryson (@johnthomasbryson) and John Diaz (@johndizzi), with Piedra creating the animation.
Jeans was an effort to capture lightning in a bottle,” explains Piedra. “Capturing the human condition, the duality of man, Jeans is a story of love and loss, so it’s only right we show everything in between. We seem to dwell the most when there’s tragedy in our lives, and when we need it most, the memories of our life seem to be gone in a blink of an eye.”
Jeans was shot on a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4.6K camera.

Expanding their creativity, CANNIBAL KIDS went for gloomy imagery in their new video Jeans. The visual depicts what it’s like to feel hurt and lonely, when nothing makes sense, sinking into flashes of emotion.

“With this single we went for a much more aggressive and somber vibe rather than our usual glossy pop sound. “JEANS” is about two people breaking up and the worst time in their lives and how much it hurts to let someone go when you need them the most. The music video is experimental, full of animation and super-cut editing.” – Damian Gutierrez (Vocalist / Rhythm Guitarist)
