Kid Kapichi have just announced their “introspective” fourth album, Fearless Nature.

Following last year’s There Goes The Neighbourhood, the record will drop on January 16 via Spinefarm, and frontman Jack Wilson reveals that, “We began writing this album a year-and-a-half ago. During that time, I think we all felt a lot of change on the horizon which I believe is reflected in this album.

“I personally was going through some of the darkest times of my life, and listening back now I hear that fear but it’s also comforting to know how quickly things can change once again for the better. I’ve always looked outward for inspiration. The news. World affairs. What’s happening in our local communities and the feeling in the air, but this album was much more introspective and seeing your reflection as you look out the window rather than what’s on the other side.

“I consider myself lucky to have gotten to the age I was at whilst writing this, that I hadn’t experienced anything like that before,” he adds. “But once you do, it gives you a whole new understanding on life and what people mean when they say they’re really struggling.”

After parting ways with two founding members, Hastings punks Kid Kapichi have returned with the brooding new track Stainless Steel – flipping everything we thought we knew about their sound on its head. Vocalist Jack Wilson talks to K! about the new line-up and how their “autobiographical” new record helped him work through a mental health crisis…

Perhaps the “ugly sister” of Brighton or the “naughty brother” of Eastbourne, buzzy punk rock bands are increasingly bursting out of Hastings, while many others are relocating there. To find out why, we meet Kid Kapichi, HotWax, Dinosaur Pile-Up, Karen Dió and local radio DJ Andy Gunton to go inside the magic of the town’s music scene, its punk attitude, and the need for a community hub to reach the next level…
