Residual Kid sign to Sire/Warner
Austin-based teenage rockers Residual Kid have signed to Sire Records, with an EP expected in 2015.
Sire co-founder and Warner Bros. vice president Seymour Stein commented:
Despite their young age and youthful appearance Residual Kid are not a boy band, but rather a young and exciting and highly talented rock band. This fact is borne out by their audience which was comprised mostly of 18 to 35 year olds, along with many older local veteran musicians in who have taken the band under their wing.
