And, to top it all off, the band hails from the cyberp

Anyone could have seen this coming. Apparently Black Kids' singer Reggie Youngblood has some doubts as to the future of his band. He told AOL's Spinner:"I don't know if there's going to be a second record. If anything, [performing] has hindered my songwriting because I'm used to writing on my own pace, at my leisure, or while I'm supposed to be working a proper job. I don't really have tim...
