Latchkey Kidz is a rising alternative punk duo from Los Angeles, made up of Dru Erickson and Juan De La Cruz. Formed in 2021, the band’s name is a nod to their upbringing - raised as latchkey kids, finding solace and identity in the music that shaped them.

Blending elements of alternative, punk, math rock, and raw emotional grit, Latchkey Kidz bring a sound that’s hard to define but impossible to ignore. Their debut performances quickly earned them spots on legendary stages across LA, including The Whisky and The Viper Room, backed by a growing wave of fans and local support.

With two singles and an official music video for “Walking Dead” already under their belt, the band continues to push forward with intensity. Whether you catch them live or on your favorite streaming platform, Latchkey Kidz are here to leave a mark - unapologetically loud, emotionally raw, and fiercely independent.
