Riddlin’ Kids

They used to earn tips delivering cheesy pizzas in Austin, Texas, but now the four members of Riddlin’ Kids are knocking on the front door of the music industry. The Lone Star State punks’ 2002 major-label debut, Hurry Up and Wait, featured a peppy mallcore minihit about heartache (“I Feel Fine”) and a light-speed cover (R.E.M.’s “It’s the End of the World as We Know It”). The album hadn’t even hit the shelves when the lucky Kids landed a spot on the Warped Tour. In the wake of Wait‘s release, the group has been road-dogging it continuously, proving that an energetic live show might indeed be the cure for attention deficit disorder of the musical kind.
