Kid Dynamite was a Philadelphia-based melodic hardcore band consisting of drummer Dave Wagenschutz, guitarist Dan Yemin, and vocalist Jason Shevchuk, as well as original bassist Steve Farrell and eventual replacement Michael “Spider” Cotterman. The band put out two full-lengths before lead singer Jason Shevchuk left the band due to the wear on his voice from touring; the act subsequently disbanded. They also featured former members of highly influential New Jersey melodic hardcore outfit Lifetime, and future members of a number of acts including None More Black, Armalite, Paint It Black, and The Loved Ones.
The band’s flagship label, Jade Tree Records, also put out a compilation of rare and live material, Cheap Shots, Youth Anthems, in 2003, which also featured a teaser DVD for a forthcoming live DVD that will include footage from the band’s 2003 reunion shows for the Syrentha Savio Endowment charity.
The band played a reunion show in 2005 as a benefit for New York City’s historic CBGBs venue on August 22, 2005. The opening bands were Take My Chances (ex-The Backup Plan), Voice in the Wire, and Grey Area (whose lead singer joined Kid Dynamite for the song “Birthday” which is a cover of a song by Token Entry, the singer from Grey Area’s old band). The band jokingly came up with a new “song” during the soundcheck called “Whoa Dave Can You Hear Me”; in which they tested out their equipment to see if everything was set up properly while Jason Shevchuk screamed “Whoa Dave can you hear me” over and over. The shirts sold at the 2005 reunion show benefitted the Syrentha J. Savio Endowment (SSE).

modern bands like lifetime? lifetime was around at least 7 years before KD.

I don't think the modern crop of melodic hardcore bands like Lifetime and Paint it Black really shape up to the KD standard. 1997 to 2000 or 2001 was a good time for american indie music, and music in general. If you take a look at third-wave ska and the later emo bands like the Promise ring etc, all very nice etc
