Black Kids’ rise was emblematic of the late-2000s blog era, when online buzz could propel new artists to international attention almost overnight. They quickly signed with Quest Management, which also represented Björk and Arcade Fire . In October 2007, the band performed at the CMJ Music Marathon in New York City, earning further exposure in The New York Times and USA Today . They then embarked on a brief London tour in December 2007. Rolling Stone named them one of ten “Artists to Watch” for 2008, and they were also included in the BBC’s Sound of 2008 poll.
