The Dress Down Kids are a group of five genius Manchester lads who have combined hip hop with rock music to create the ultimate musical fusion known as street rock. The first form of the band was an acoustic trio that played shows around the local Manchester area until eventually, after switching who plays what a few times, the final cut of The Dress Down Kids became Tristan on lead vocals; Lee on rhythm guitar; Ajay on drums; Fletch on lead guitar and Tom playing bass.
The band's YouTube showcases their ability to play acoustically with finesse as well as playing full band just as fantastically. Their most recent song Tear The Roof Off can be seen playing on Scuzz, while eager fans await for it to be officially released so we never have to be without the fun song with an insanely catchy hook that, like the video shows, could even get your grandparents dancing their feet off. The guitars are pop-punk and the music so infectiously bouncy and without even a moments hesitation Tristan can take the punk and turn it into slick rap that never sounds out of place.
If you happen to live anywhere near Manchester, where they play shows regularly, then please for the sake of those stuck miles and miles away go and check out these guys live as they offer tonnes of energy, epic music and a show i'm sure will be unforgettable as The Dress Down Kids are pure talent.
