Every Kid Knows
“Every kid knows jobs are finished; role-playing has taken over.” – Marshall McLuhan 1971
Every Kid Knows are a pop-power trio based in Den Haag, city behind the dunes. Dylan Rippon on guitar, Joeri Gordijn on drums and Sebas Simeon on bass. They’ve got a guru and they know what they need to do. Spinning Jenny. That’s the twist. Can you take beautiful guitar melodies and turn them inside out and remember why you started? In 2018 Every Kid Knows recorded their debut album in Cornwall and Haarlem. There’s always the ache for something beautiful and you need to float upstream to get there. The album is like a mausoleum for the last wild tiger. They played Sneister and The Haagse Pop Festival. They performed with Bazart at the Paard van Troje. I want to swim swim seven six, it’s my jamboree. BMX for ever and don’t ever trust a priest. That’s the message here. We don’t need to release anything else because we’re already there. In the future. You need to know the perfect ratio of Valium to Gin. Can you float on the clouds through a thunderstorm? Every Kid Knows wrote a song about the end of the world. Annihilation is true love. All the best bands have three members even when they don’t. They’re like Dr. Frankenstein cutting up musical corpses and putting them back together. And then…zzzzzzzzap! It’s alive again.
