Nature Kids

Leeds’ Nature Kids feel the need to stress that they will arrive fully clothed to the Stockton Calling stage despite being heralded as one of Yorkshire’s hottest new bands. The five-piece’s debut self-titled album will be released the same week as the festival so expect them to be in ebullient mood. The summery lo-fi gooiness of previous single Nothing At All should complement Stockton Calling’s traditional spring sunshine, while previous singles have highlighted a penchant for beat-driven post-punk for fans of anything from Beck to The Human League.
