Boston-by-way-of-Rahway, NJ rockers Cut The Kids In Half are gearing up for a major milestone: their debut album, What We Became, drops January 31. Leading the charge is the emotionally charged first single, “Song of Two Humans”, a track that dives headfirst into the turmoil of a strained relationship. With shimmering guitars and introspective lyricism, it’s a powerful taste of the band’s artistic ambition and sonic range.
The band, spearheaded by teenage brothers Charlie and Jack Silver (18 and 19), takes its name from Radiohead’s “Morning Bell” and its ethos from the sweat and grit of playing countless gigs in their local scene. Alongside longtime drummer Luke Tan, the Silvers have crafted a raw, magnetic sound that’s equal parts vulnerability and grit. Their journey culminates with What We Became, a record that promises to showcase their storytelling prowess and undeniable chemistry.
“Song of Two Humans” is more than a single — it’s a statement. Its poignant lyrics unravel the heartbreak of knowing someone completely and realizing you’re no longer compatible. “One day you’re together, the next you’re in each other’s way,” shares vocalist and lyricist Jack Silver. The song’s emotional core is matched by its soaring riffs, creating a perfect collision of despair and hope.
The accompanying music video, streaming now on YouTube, offers a cinematic glimpse into the band’s world. Shot in their Boston stomping grounds, it stars the Silver brothers alongside Tan in a visual that perfectly mirrors the track’s bittersweet energy.
This release follows last year’s impactful single “A Good Man Died”, which introduced the band’s raw yet focused style, blending heart-on-sleeve honesty with alt-rock edge. With What We Became, Cut The Kids In Half continue to define their unique voice — sensitive but never naive, their songs balance unflinching emotion with an undercurrent of resilience.
If “Song of Two Humans” is any indication, What We Became is a debut album to watch. Vulnerable, melodic, and bursting with youthful energy, it’s a record that promises to leave its mark.
