Kicker

Sometimes I have this weird thing with bands that I love. Something To Write Home About by The Get Up Kids is one of my all-time favourite emo records, probably one of my all-time favourite records - period. That record and the Red Letter Day 10“ are so incredibly good )Four Minute Mile is also really good, but not as good as those records I mentioned previously) - and yet I didn‘t really follow the band after that. I bought their There Are Rules album a couple of years ago, but I wasn’t impressed back then and I don‘t remember when I listened to it the last time. 

At some point last year I went through a phase where I mostly listened to current and 90s emo bands and I decided to check out records I wasn‘t familiar with by bands that I actually really like. Kicker is only a 12“ EP. I‘m saying only because I‘d have liked more songs in that vein. I don‘t know if this record marks a return to 90s form or if the band had taken this step previously, but Kicker is really good. 

You can expect some more emo content soon.
