The Chilliwack, BC–based band’s 11-song studio album – and first full-length release on EMI was produced by such A-list names as Matt Squire (3OH!3, Katy Perry) and Gggarth Richardson (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nickelback, Hedley), and mixed by Mark Needham (Neon Trees, The Killers).
JUMPSTART includes new versions of These Kids Wear Crowns’ favourites’ “Skeletons,” “Break It Up,” “Oceans,” and “We All Fall Down” from the band’s original EP, plus brand new material including a cover of the Whitney Houston hit “I Wanna Dance With Somebody”.

The singles’ lyrics have a sense of zoom, an I’m-on-my-way determination that epitomizes the bands career trajectory.
“We’re gonna give it a Jumpstart / 4,3,2,1 go! / What’s up? / When we get it going no way we’re gonna stop!
First single ‘Jumpstart’ is a hit! It’s Top 20 at CHR Radio in Canada and gaining spins on stations across the country in every major market. The video, directed by Colin Minihan has also been added to heavy rotation at video outlets across the country.
