History

[edit | edit source]

Formation

[edit | edit source]

Clean Cut Kid formed in 2012 after members Mike Halls and Evelyn Halls were set up on a blind date by a friend. After some time writing together, the pair recruited bassist Saul Godman and later drummer Ross Higginson, both of whom they had known from the local music scene in Liverpool.[3]

2015–2017

[edit | edit source]

The band released their debut single "Vitamin C" through Babe Magnet/Polydor in July 2015 to praise from the likes of DIY Magazine ("Clean Cut Kid are the thing missing in your life")[4] and The Line of Best Fit ("impressive, infectious debut").[5]

2017 – present

[edit | edit source]

In February 2017, the band announced via their social media pages and press that their debut album Felt would be coming later that year.[6] The album was released on 5 May 2017.[7]

In October 2017, Mike and Evelyn announced on SoundCheck Podcast that they had started work on their second album the same day they finished Felt. It was also announced that they would be parting ways with Polydor for their next release with a desire to go independent for more creative freedom.[8]

Around the same time, it was announced through the band’s Instagram page that bassist Saul Godman had left the band.[citation needed]
