Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
And we'll have halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends
I miss you, miss you
I miss you, miss you
Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick, strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting everytime
And as I stared I counted the webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight?
Stop this pain tonight
Don't waste your time on me you're already the voice inside my head
(I miss you, miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already the voice inside my head
(I miss you, miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already the voice inside my head
(I miss you, miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already the voice inside my head
(I miss you, miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already the voice inside my head
(I miss you, miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already the voice inside my head
(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)
Kylaidoscope: A Family-Driven Pop-Punk Revival
A Father and Sons Trio Injects New Energy into the Genre
In an era where pop-punk has often been relegated to nostalgia playlists, one family band is proving that the genre is alive, well, and ready for reinvention. Kylaidoscope, a high-energy trio based in the Philippines, is not your average band—they are a dynamic father-and-sons act, blending talent, authenticity, and boundless enthusiasm into a sound that demands attention. Featuring Kyle (15), Aidan (13), and their father Brendan (68), Kylaidoscope is rapidly carving out a space in the modern punk landscape.
Their journey is as unique as their name—a fusion of Kyle and Aidan’s names, signifying their deep-rooted connection and shared musical passion. But beyond the name lies an even richer story of cross-cultural influence, perseverance, and an innate love for punk’s unfiltered energy.
A Family Bond Forged in Music
Kylaidoscope’s roots stretch across continents, with Brendan’s British and Irish heritage blending seamlessly with the Filipino culture of Kyle and Aidan’s mother. Music, however, has been the great unifier in their lives. Brendan, a seasoned rock and blues musician, recognized his sons’ musical inclinations from an early age. While living in France, Kyle and Aidan were introduced to rhythm and melody through music play schools and private lessons, laying the groundwork for their current artistry.
In 2018, the family relocated to the Philippines, and homeschooling under Brendan’s guidance became the norm. Education was not just about textbooks—it was about exploring creativity, and music became a core component of their learning. Inspired by bands like Green Day, Blink-182, and The Clash, the boys immersed themselves in the punk ethos, with Brendan coaching them in guitar and vocals. What started as casual jam sessions soon transformed into something greater—a fully realized band with a distinct sound and style.
The Sound of Kylaidoscope
What sets Kylaidoscope apart is their ability to channel the raw spirit of pop-punk while injecting their own youthful energy and familial chemistry. Their music is fast-paced, infectious, and unapologetically spirited—true to the ethos of the genre. Their repertoire includes both original songs and reimagined covers of punk anthems, delivering performances that resonate with longtime fans of the genre as well as a new generation of listeners.
Beyond just playing music, Kylaidoscope captures the essence of what makes punk rock special—the DIY spirit, the unfiltered emotional expression, and the ability to connect with audiences on a visceral level. Their performances, whether in a studio setting or live, exude an undeniable authenticity that has drawn attention beyond their home base in the Philippines.
Keeping Punk Rock Alive
Kylaidoscope is more than just a band; they are a movement, proving that punk is far from dead. With every cover song, they pay homage to the legends while making each track their own, adding fresh intensity and a family-driven twist. Their growing online presence, particularly on their YouTube channel, has allowed them to share their passion with fans worldwide. Their videos, featuring vibrant covers of punk classics, serve as both a nostalgic trip for older fans and an introduction to a new generation discovering the genre.
As Kylaidoscope continues to evolve, their potential knows no bounds. Their journey is not only a testament to their dedication but also a reminder that music has the power to bridge generations, cultures, and musical eras. With each power chord and rebellious lyric, they reinforce the idea that punk rock isn’t just a genre—it’s a way of life.
Summary
Kylaidoscope is a rare and remarkable act in the modern music scene—a father-and-sons trio reviving the pop-punk sound with youthful energy and deep musical roots. Brendan, a veteran rock and blues musician, has nurtured his sons Kyle and Aidan’s talents from a young age, guiding them into a full-fledged band. Their journey has spanned multiple countries, culminating in their Philippines-based music project that seamlessly fuses raw punk influences with a fresh, family-driven approach.
Inspired by icons like Green Day and Blink-182, Kylaidoscope’s music embodies the high-energy, fast-paced, and emotionally charged spirit of punk. Their ability to merge classic punk sound with modern sensibilities has garnered them a dedicated fanbase, particularly through their vibrant YouTube performances.
What makes Kylaidoscope stand out is their authenticity—their music is not just a revival of old sounds but a reinvention, proving that punk remains relevant and impactful today. Their story underscores the power of family, perseverance, and passion, setting them apart as one of the most compelling emerging acts in the genre. As they continue to grow, Kylaidoscope is poised to make an indelible mark on the modern punk landscape.
