Single Review: Kid Kapichi - ‘Household Shame’
A raucous brokerage on love and autonomy dripping in scuzzy bravado and electric bluster, Household Shame, the newest offering from hedonistic Hastings troupe Kid Kapichi, is a trying antidote to the tumultuous times. Crooning couplets capture the duality of mid-twenties flings whilst a visceral torrent of motorik punk-pop pummel drenches the track in Kid Kapichi’s trademark hues of defiance and disquiet.
Though the subject drifts from the band’s usual antithetic politics, the tongue remains firmly in the cheek as the song embarks on its scuzzy lovesick serenade - “shame on you, shame on me, what’s it gonna be?”. Poignant and promiscuous but with a honeyed tinge, it incarnates everything momentous about the Sussex quadrille, whilst stoking the fire that has begun to blaze in anticipation of one of modern punk’s most promising record debuts.
