Kick is so good. Funny how I went from not knowing who this band was, to checking them out due to touring with The Wonder Years. Now I cant think of another band id be more excited a new album for. Glad the waits not long lol
Forgot I'm on the UK press list for PNR! Excited to listen, it's my reward for filing a review tomorrow!
This was always gonna be their 'we have a much bigger audience now, step it the fuck up' album and I'm pleased to report they have indeed stepped it the fuck up. This thing is HUGE.
Going in I expected an acoustic reprise/expansion but it's a full-on counterpart that's quite Wonder Years in execution. Lyrically there are no direct ties but you can hear how they came from the same place. It's really fucking well done and features some of the record's best lyrics.
For clarification: Losers is re-recorded from the original single version they put out last year, Losers Pt 2 bears no musical relation that I can hear, but is definitely cut from the same lyrical cloth and I can see why it's a 'part two' song.
This is great! I just assumed Losers pt 2 was the re-recorded version released with Kick. So damn happy we get a counterpart and something different in a month.
I love when I discover bands and then they put out new records very soon. Super stoked to hear this in a month, can't stop/won't stop listening to Kick/Losers
Looks like they've sold out of mostly all the vinyl which is super impressive They're definitely going to have a great year
They have come a long way in a relatively short time from playing the smaller SubT room, the Class tavern, and Mahall’s basement.
