Kyd The Band (aka Devin Guisande) continues to impress with his spellbinding Season 2: Character Development EP, out today to buy and stream via Sony Music Germany / Four Music / Insanity Records (UK). The 6 track collection immediately follows “Heartbreak Anthem” – his collaboration with gnash which landed on over 15 New Music Friday playlists including Spotify’s NMF US – and also includes the final single “Hard Feelings”
Season 2: Character Development EP follows on from Kyd The Band’s debut EP Season 1: The Intro. With each Season, Devin reveals more of himself as he becomes confident to delve deep into his tumultuous past from a socially isolated childhood, to leaving his home and family; overcoming a drug overdose to then finally finding solace in music and healthy relationships. The artist to watch hopes that his music creates an intimate connection with his audience. “With everything I write, I try to write directly from my life and what’s in my heart,” says Guisande. “I’d love for my music to reach all the kids like me, who are maybe questioning what they were raised to believe or feel like they haven’t found where they belong just yet. I hope those kinds of people hear what I have to say, and see a bit of their own story in my songs.”
The music of Nashville-based artist Kyd the Band is an ideal soundtrack to finding your place in an often-chaotic world. On the EP, Devin explains: “The content of Season 2: Character Development is really part two of my childhood and adolescence. These are the first results of taking that kid and all his influencing factors (environment, upbringing, people, etc) from Season 1 and letting him be on his own for the first time.”
