Editor's note

Racing Kites, Pittsburgh's steady alt-rock presence

A melodic guitar band that found its sound in straightforward pop-rock and kept at it for years.

If you're checking them out, 'All Night Is Alright' and 'A Moment Or A Lifetime' give you the gist. They're the songs that tell you what this band was about.

They made the kind of songs that stick around in your head without trying too hard. 'All Night Is Alright' is a good example, it's just a solid, guitar-driven tune that feels familiar in the best way. Their music showed up in a few films and TV shows, which gave some of these tracks a second life outside the album.

They started playing local shows in Pittsburgh around 2002. Their 2008 debut 'Emergence' got them some wider attention, especially with the single 'A Moment Or A Lifetime'. After that, they kept putting out albums like 'Edge of the Earth' and 'Northern Lights' through the 2010s.

Archive material and source history

Racing Kites formed in Pittsburgh in 2002, with John Kennedy on vocals and guitar. They spent years playing local shows before their 2008 debut album 'Emergence' brought wider attention. The single 'A Moment Or A Lifetime' from that album got radio play and became a recognizable track for the band.

Their sound settled into melodic alt-rock territory, with songs like 'All Night Is Alright' and 'Is This Love' showing their knack for straightforward, guitar-driven pop. They released several more albums over the next decade, including 'Edge of the Earth' in 2010 and 'Northern Lights' in 2017.

While they never became a household name, Racing Kites maintained a steady presence in the alternative rock scene. Their music occasionally appeared in films and television, and they kept touring and recording through the 2010s.
