As a small number of you may be aware, Toronto-based band Shy Kids first started releasing music back in 2012, however beyond an original three-track EP, they hadn't released anything new since.

Complementing the song's creative imagination perfectly, the music video for "®ockets" (which is made entirely out of sweets) can be viewed below.
