Waterloo electro trio Kidstreet have barely started to make their mark in Canada, but the three siblings who make up the synth-pop outfit have already inked a major licensing deal with Ford. The staccato piano from their song (simply titled Song) backs the car-maker's latest TV spot. “It's one great way to make money in music - and we plan to invest that money back into the band,” says drummer Karl Snyder. Onstage, the band blends electronic elements with live drums, vocals, guitar and synths - while encouraging the crowd to dance. Kidstreet have recently signed a record deal with Canada's own Nettwerk Records, they are preparing to release their debut album this summer.
