Kids in the Way represents a new generation of artists whose desire is to re-establish the integrity of rock. Initially formed by vocalist David Pelsue, guitarist Nathan Ehman and drummer Eric Carter in '97, the band had a different name and focus. With the addition of Austin Cobb and bassist Nathan Hughes, who has left the group, Kids in the Way was born. During the early days, they released a successful EP that helped get them management, bigger shows and eventually a deal with Flicker.
