The Kickbacks | Blindside View
Is there life after Dawson's Creek?
CD, Sodapop

Why is it that some bands will never experience a breakthrough? Most of the time it isn't because of the music they make, which is often very good. I think it is because all those bands lack originality; they miss something unique. They don't add something new to the current stream of music. I fear the Kickbacks will, too, be one of those bands. This five-men group was formed in 1996 in Boston. After that, they recorded two albums. Blindside View is the third.
About the music they make: I like it, really, very much. On the record you can experience nice melodies, vocal lines, and a wide range of instruments. Guitars and percussion, of course, but they add a few horns sometimes, and you can discover a piano, a Hammond organ, and a harmonica. I think their music can best be described as folk-pop-rock music. So far so good. I'll definitely listen more to this album. It's just that I've heard it all done before. Not very much better, but, then again, not very much worse either.
Last year they had their 'one minute of fame' in a 55-second part of the popular TV series Dawson's Creek, in which 'Attic,' from their 1998 album Longitude, was played. And to conclude: I really like the Kickbacks, and I'd really like to see them become more famous, but I fear their fame will not go past a few seconds on a TV series...
