Kind Eyes is a Sacramento-based hardcore band fusing metallic aggression with uncompromising social commentary. Since their formation in 2018, the group has carved out a space in the West Coast hardcore scene with a sound that channels the fury of Rage Against the Machine, the urgency of Incendiary, and the raw honesty of Stray From the Path. Their 2022 EP Cruel World, released via Upstate Records, showcases their signature blend of chug-heavy breakdowns, razor-sharp lyricism, and anti-racist messaging. With tracks like “Fuck A Proud Boy” gaining traction on TikTok and collaborations with acts like UnityTX, Kind Eyes is more than a band—they’re a rallying cry for justice, community, and cathartic release.
