Packed with careful reflection and passionate melodies, “nostalgia” rock band Disaster Kid is keen to write a song that remembers: a gas station stop between two states, a curious scene outside a local dive, a solemn exchange in a zoo’s reptile house. Their new EP Rare Bird (March 2025) is a collection of those notices and observations, attempting to digest the present moment in an attention-demanding world and pinpointing the small details that strike us in large ways. Disaster Kid formed piece by piece in Chicago, each member a transplant hailing from different states. They now all claim home to the city, embedded in its rich and vibrant community of music.
