Blondfire is Bruce and Erica Driscoll, a Brazilian-American brother and sister act living in L.A. After dropping an earlier band name (Astaire) for legal reasons, the renamed duo got off to an auspicious start: they were the first unsigned band to reach Number One on the iTunes Alternative chart. "Where the Kids Are" is the bubbly lead track from the group's upcoming album, Win the Game. The song was mixed by Wally Gagel, who has worked with Muse and Gorillaz. "It kind of wrote itself," says Erica. "'Where the Kids Are' is basically our little anthem reminding everyone that youth is fleeting. You have to live it up to the fullest and enjoy life before it passes you by."

"Where the Kids Are" is available now, and you can download it free here.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
