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]

On November 17, 2017, the band announced that their second full-length album in a state was slated for release in February 2018. They also released the debut single from the record, the middle. The music video was shot on location at Canada's Markham Fair in late 2016.

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]
