Shy Kids (stylized as shy kids) are a Canadian indie pop band from Toronto, consisting of Walter Woodman, Patrick Cederberg, Matthew Hornick, and Greg Francis.[1]
The band released their debut EP field trips in 2012, followed by the full-length album Lofty! in 2015. Lofty!'s lead single "®ockets" was promoted with a music video animated entirely out of candy, chocolate bars, and various candy wrappers,[2] which was a longlisted finalist for the Prism Prize in 2016.[3] The album's subsequent singles included "Terminally in Love with You", a collaboration with Choir! Choir! Choir!,[4] and "Noodie".[1]
Cederberg and Woodman are both graduates of the film studies program at Ryerson University.[5] While there, they collaborated on the short film Noah, which won the award for Best Canadian Short Film at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival[6] and won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Live Action Short Drama at the 2nd Canadian Screen Awards.[7]
