Middle Kids
Middle Kids are an Australian alternative indie rock band from Sydney. The group consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Hannah Joy (real name Hannah Joy Cameron), multi-instrumentalist Tim Fitz (real name Timothy Fitzmaurice) and drummer Harry Day. Since forming in 2016, the band has released their eponymous debut EP (2017), the album Lost Friends (2018), the New Songs for Old Problems EP (2019), and their second studio album, Today We're the Greatest (2021). In February 2024, they released their third album, Faith Crisis Pt 1.
Middle Kids originally formed after Fitz offered to produce some songs for Joy's solo project after attending a show she played. Prior to Middle Kids, Fitz was also a solo artist; he released five EPs between 2011 and 2014 under his own name. They enlisted local jazz drummer Harry Day (who went to school with Joy) for a recording session, in which they recorded their debut single, "Edge of Town".
The song's radio premiere on Triple J in May 2016 was followed by a feature in Rolling Stone. Shortly after the video clip's premiere on Stereogum, the song was added to Elton John's Beats 1 show. The trio won FBi Radio's Northern Lights competition (which sent them to perform in Reykjavík, Iceland at the Iceland Airwaves music festival).
The band recorded and released their debut self-titled EP in February 2017. They also toured with Paul Kelly and Steve Earle in November of that year.
In May 2018, the band released their debut album, Lost Friends. It was primarily recorded in their Sydney home, produced by band member Tim Fitz, and mixed by Peter Katis.
It debuted at number 10 on the ARIA Charts. A Pitchfork review described the sound as "radiant, anthemic indie rock, balancing doubt-ridden lyrics with clear-eyed execution". Lost Friends was nominated for the ARIA Award for Best Rock Album at the ARIA Music Awards of 2016. It won the prestigious J Award for Australian Album of the Year. The lead single "Mistake" was voted into the 2018 Triple J Hottest 100.
Middle Kids played their USA TV debut on Conan. Additionally they have performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Late Late Show with James Corden and Busy Tonight. They have played live sessions for KCRW, KEXP, KTBG, WFUV, and Triple J (in which they performed a cover of "Don't Dream It's Over" by Crowded House for Like a Version).
The band have toured extensively in the US, performing at South by Southwest, Lollapalooza, Governors Ball Music Festival, LouFest, Firefly Music Festival, Austin City Limits Fest among others. They also opened on tours for the War on Drugs, Ryan Adams, Cold War Kids, Local Natives.
