About

Tall cousins Kishore Ryan (Seagull, Otouto, Where Were You at Lunch) and Kieran Ryan form the melted, subverted, deconstructed troubadour duo Kid Sam. They make songs that traverse themes of violence, romance and the politics of the everyday, distilling the history of intelligent song writing within them.
