REVIEW BY DICK PORTER, MUDKISS FANZINE
From its Night of The Hunter referencing cover onward, this East London quartet’s debut set bristles with malign intent. There’s no pissing about here, as ‘Kiss’n’Burn’ kicks into high gear and then begins accelerating. As the track unfolds as a garage-a-billy two lane blacktop car wreck that hurtles into a frantic instrumental break, it’s clear we’re in the realm of live-fast-die-young nihilism where guitars serve as deadly weapons. Thee Kick’s twin guitars are, however, scalpels, rather than cutlasses, used with precision and expertise to slice layers of fuzz so fine that one feels them moments before they are heard.
Aside from some truly engorging moments of wildly abandoned rhythm/lead interplay – particularly on the heavy/nasteh ‘Right Here’ – ‘Preacher’ features some truly exceptional soloing, delivered by the band’s chief axe, Max with economy and tension. His minimally crucifying solo is the highlight of the urgent ‘Flipsville Girl’, a cautionary tale of feminine psychosis. Similarly, the rolling bass-driven garagepunk of ‘The Tattoo’ sees Max scar the soul with sound in the same way that the titular illustration is scraped into flesh.
For a band unafraid of taking an unhinged musical path, Thee Kicks evidently believe in keeping their shit firmly together – the group’s wired tightness is a feature of the ten songs. There’s plenty of variety, too – ‘Sleepy Hollow’ sounds like Gallon Drunk in the throes of a breakdown. The track is an early hours kerbcrawl into a place where only madness awaits, the intensity building as sonic voodoo takes hold. ‘Short Time’ sounds as if the Byrds, Sonics and Kinks have been fed into a grindhouse blender, while ‘Come On Over’ is a louché inducement that occupies the same kind of musky bedroom as the Stooges’ classic ‘Real Cool Time’.
Despite its ominous opening ‘Leave Me Now’, expands into a shiny-booted break up saga, where insistent lead lines and backing vocals phase in and out agreeably. However, such lightness is transitory as the full majesty of the truly epic title track uncoils like a self devouring snake. Cinematic and episodic, ‘Preacher’ evokes a nightmare chapel of evil via portentous bass and a rainswept blues howl that ascends to a wah-driven frenzy. After this, the lunatic frug and hi-octane Peter Gunn-ery of ‘She Said/You Want My Lovin’’ are easy to unfairly overlook. But you’ll just have to go back and ride the ‘Preacher’ rollercoaster again. Yes, you will.

Leave Me Now

Barattolo

Eccoci qua, quattroemezza RMX finalmente fuori! 
Ho deciso di far uscire questo brano, anche se imperfetto e vecchio di ormai 2 anni, perché ci tengo veramente tanto visto che rispecchia un brutto periodo della mia vita.

Quattroemezza RMX

"Leave me now, my heart`s in two, I'm taking bow, 
there's no more room, i can`t wait for you to change, 
you wont be my ball and chain, my ball and chain"

certe cose vanno scritte prima di perderle
certe persone vanno strette e poi lasciate libere
io sono uno di quelli che cerca solitudine
perché a sedici anni perdi cose per rimpiangerle?
e come spiegarti che ora sono polvere
che non puoi mischiarmi tutti i giorni alle tue lacrime
cambiarmi? l'ho già fatto e spesso eppure resto 
sempre fedele a me stesso a me stesso del momento
cercarci un senso è come cercare un ago nell'assurdo
e io mi ci tuffo e rischio di affogare nel ridicolo
che bevo tutto di un fiato per uscirne vivo e sbronzo
non ho trovato il senso ma non so spiegarmi come mi sono punto
se mi fermo e medito finisce che scrivo tutto questo
torno bambino sereno e romantico ma per un attimo
poi lego stretta la mia vita a una pietra e ai quattro quarti
ti ho stretto per l'ultima volta era è tempo di lasciarti

Leave me now, my heart`s in two, I'm taking bow, 
there's no more room, i can`t wait for you to change, 
you wont be my ball and chain, my ball and chain"

Sembrava impossibile ma ho droppato. dentro questo mixtape ci sono tutte le mie emozioni, sto carico.

Untitled (Feat. Lil Sèb)

Pasticca

Leave me now

Essendo costretti a rimanere chiusi in casa ho deciso di rispolverare il mio vecchio microfono e la mia vecchia scheda audio per poi ricavarne questa rec.
Grazie Corona <3
