Heavy Kid’s “Day By Day” is a track that brings me back to the mid-1990s, where bands like Soul Asylum and Sponge were on high rotation at all the college radio station. The tightness of the arrangements and decidedly lo-fi feel showcase a band that is absolutely comfortable while creating a track that is decidedly deeper than most similar fare. Day By Day is brought brightness by the lead vocals, while the guitar / drum dynamic is absolutely sublime. Our recommendation is to cut your teeth on Day By Day and then dig deeper into their discography; our recommendations as you delve further into Heavy Kid would be Limited View and For Kent.
