At last night's Lost Music Presents I saw a band that I have not yet seen or heard despite Trev writing about them the other week.To say I was impressed with Bristol's The Kick Inside is an understatement. They put in a great live show and whilst the jangle pop backline impressed they also possess a charasmactic frontman in the shape singer Sean whose vocals are distinctive yet reminiscent of Morrissey, Paul Heaton or other quintessentially English singers.
Thy also reminded me of a lot of Bristols and Englands indie past. The Brilliant Corners, Mighty Mighty, The Razorcuts, The Smiths and the melodramatic sound of St. Christopher sprang to mind. Their sound is also characterised by Scotland's Postcard Records especially the indie funk hybrid of Orange Juice.
The band also had a CDR release available (recorded with Rob Williams from Santa Dog) which features three great songs which are also available for streaming via My Space. They also have two non CDR tracks for downloading.
The Kick Inside - To Be Someone
The Kick Inside - Because of Her Sex
Lost Music Presents were impressed enough to invite them back in October for another gig and to discuss the possibility of a single release. Watch this space!
