Reggie Youngblood is the lead vocalist and guitarist of Indie rock band, Black Kids. The band also consists of Kevin Snow (drums), Owen Holmes (bass guitar), Dawn Watley (keyboards and backing vocals) and sister, Ali Youngblood (keyboards and backing vocals.

Youngblood previously played in four other bands before Black Kids. Along with Snow and Holmes, he played in an eight-person ska band called Honey Locust in the late 90s. Then came Cubby, which Reggie comments was like “Morrissey without the humour. It was horrible.”

Holmes and Youngblood then played in Mata Hari, which sounded like “Black Kids without the women or the fun”. The three best friends grouped together with Youngblood’s younger sister, Ali and her best friend Dawn to form Black Kids in 2006.

Reggie formed Blunt Bangs (formerly Night School) in 2015.
