Fronted by legendary Pete the Roadie, KICKER is pure punk from members of NEUROSIS and DYSTOPIA, for fans of RUDIMENTARY PENI and SUBHUMANS. Pete, who for the past 30-odd years has roadied for the SUBHUMANS, AMEBIX, CHUMBAWAMBA, FUGAZI, JELLO BIAFRA, and just about everyone else, has clearly established himself as more than just a roadie. Following up their 2012 full-length Not You on Tankcrimes, this album is full of the same cheeky, clever, and catchy two-minute hit-you-over-the-head bouts of realism that got them so much acclaim right out of the gate. Pete’s energy, dedication, and booze-soaked cockney exuberance, and the rest of the band’s sheer talent and experience is so clear and inspiring—and the reason why punks, skins, metal heads, drunks, and everyone else at the bar loves them so much. Here are nine new tracks to convince you.
