Kinetic Stereokids hail from Flint, Michigan (third most dangerous city in the U.S. and one of the most depressing), where I reckon they hear a lot of car alarms.

The Kinetic Stereokids hail from Flint, Michigan. Frontguys Justin Ford and Michael Steibel discovered their intense mutual tastes for Beck, church music, and collage art while at soccer camp in 1997.
