The Problem With Kids Today are a hot new trio of Rock and Roll delinquents out of New Haven CT. The band was formed in 2020 and is comprised of frontman “The Great” Tate Brooks leading the charge on vocals and guitar, his childhood best friend Silas “The Slayer” Lourenco Lang on 4 string buttery bass guitar and vocals, and the glue that keeps them together “Rock N Roll” Reena Yu holding it down on the skins and backing vocals. Revisiting the sounds and themes of the 70s while creating their own original version, TPWKT are a unique blend of all things they love; Punk, Power Pop, Eclectic numbers, and good time R&R. The band has shared ‘What Else Could I Say?’, the first single from the band's upcoming album ‘Born To Rock,’ which will be out in February 2024.

This past Spring The band headed to legendary Q Division Studios (Pixies, Aimee Mann, Jon Brion, Dropkick Murphys, etc. ) in Cambridge MA to make their debut album “Born To Rock” recorded by veteran indie producer Adam Lasus (Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Yo La Tengo, Juliana Hatfield, Helium, Mark Mulcahy, etc). Laying down eleven new songs in a mere eight days, The band and Adam moved into the studio and recorded from dusk till dawn. This allowed them to play with a wide variety of instruments from harmonicas and toy pianos to 12 string guitars and synthesizers. The result is an all encompassing Rock and Roll record inspired by the likes of KISS, New York Dolls, Ramones, Iggy and The Stooges, and incorporating some of the poppier aspects of The Byrds, The Beatles, and The Kinks.
