The Problem With Kids Today Drops Thrilling Single “Speed Freak” from Born to Rock LP Out Friday

Today, we’ve got some electrifying news straight from the heart of New Haven, CT. The Problem With Kids Today, a band that’s been making waves in the local scene, is unleashing their latest sonic creation upon the world: “Speed Freak,” accompanied by a visually stunning, often hilarious music video crafted by the talented Connor Rog of Kicker Pictures.

This track is not just your average tune—it’s a high-octane rollercoaster ride through a neon-lit cityscape of pure rock ‘n’ roll with a giant smile on your face. That’s the vibe “Speed Freak” delivers, thanks to the creative genius of the band’s own Tate Brooks, who was inspired to pen a song that captures the essence of the open road and the adrenaline rush of a late-night joyride.

The band is “The Great” Tate Brooks on vocals and guitar, his childhood best friend Silas “The Slayer” Lourenco Lang on 4 string bass and vocals, and “Rock N Roll” Reena Yu on drums and vocals. Each track from The Problem With Kids Today’s debut album, Born To Rock, offers a unique flavor and perspective. From the blistering energy of their previous releases to the slow-burning groove of “Speed Freak,” this band proves that they’re not afraid to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan eagerly awaiting the album drop or a newcomer looking for your next musical obsession, “Speed Freak” is guaranteed to get your heart racing and your head banging. So, strap in, crank up the volume, and let The Problem With Kids Today take you on a wild ride you won’t soon forget.
