Kids in the Way was a Christian rock band from Indianapolis, Indiana. The band was formed in 1997 under the name Serenity, and later disbanded in mid-2007. Their songs mainly have darker references, and talk about love, death, and political messages (in the song "Burt Rutan"), and often convey undertones of their collective faith as Christians.

[edit] Biography
Kids in the Way was formed in 1997 by vocalist David Pelsue, guitarist Nathan Ehman, and the drummer Eric Carter. The band was previously known as Serenity and played a considerably lighter rock sound than when they were Kids in the Way. The band changed to its current member lineup after the addition of bass player Nathan Hughes and Austin Cobb (neither remain members). Kids in the Way released a self-titled EP which set them in place for further record releases and future shows with Audio Adrenaline which was important in their signing to Flicker Records. After releasing their debut album Safe from the Losing Fight, they were able to pick up spots touring with notable bands such as Fireflight, Pillar, and Relient K.
In June 2007, shortly before their official release of A Love Hate Masquerade, Kids in the Way disbanded, although they have yet to officially announce it.[citation needed] Nathan Ehman now plays guitar for Disciple. In January of 2008, Dave Pelsue was hired on staff of East 91st St. Christian Church in his hometown of Noblesville, IN.
