I’m sure by now you’ve heard of Sydney rock legends Middle Kids. The alternative/indie heavyweights have spent the last few years killing it.

A top 10 ARIA album with Lost Friends, a top 30 ARIA EP with the self titled Middle Kids EP, and another on the way is in no way a mean feat. Plus, they’ve got multiple sold out headline tours under their belt. Did I mention, they killed their late night US television debut, and, since then have performed on it once more? They also scored a nomination for the ARIA Award Best Rock Album for their debut album Lost Friends. Is there anything Hannah Joy, Tim Fitz and Harry Day can’t do?

To celebrate their already ceremonious music career, we’re taking a look back at their most successful tracks.
