Alex The Kid

Alex The Kid is a Swedish new wave and indie rock group that has been active since 2003. The group is described as a four-piece act that uses a hybrid of music and binary code in its concept and presentation.

Concept and style

The band’s narrative is set in a future where humanity has colonised the moon, taken holidays on nearby ice planets and lives alongside artificial robots in everyday life. In that setting, robots seek freedom and a place in the world, while human resistance leads to conflict known as the Robot Wars. The group presents itself as robot sympathisers who travel back in time to try to change events and bring humans and robots together.

The music is listed as indie rock and new wave.
