Stickup Kid News - New Album & Video

Stickup Kid will be heading into the studio with Chris Dugan (Green Day, U2) at Nu-Tone Studios at the end of December, to follow up their Adeline Records debut, Nothing About Me. In the meantime, check out this live session the band did with AltPress, next week at Fest 11 and on 12/2 in Oakland, CA at A Very GK! Holiday Festival with Set Your Goals and The American Scene. 

EP REVIEW: Nothing About Me - Stickup Kid Track One: Breathing This is kind of a typical opening for an EP, but nonetheless, I’m a fan. The band breaks into a strong set of vocals that draw a ton of influence from Lifetime and Kid Dynamite. Although this song is only 1:30, they manage to cram in another clean vocal part that reminds me of Saves The Day. This track was a great way to open up the EP. Track Two: Lighthouse If you like Title Fight and/or Basement, you will love this song. Stickup Kid presents a stronger pop-punk side rather than melodic hardcore, like “Breathing”.  Track Three: Dreaming Of Kenny Rogers This song has been out as a demo for a while, so previous fans of this song will be stoked on the rerecording. This song showcases the how lyrically and musically talented the band is. Not in the fact that there’s crazy sick riffs, but in the fact that the song flows so beautifully. Although this is the second shortest song on the EP, I think it’s one of the best.  Track Four: You Are Captain Hook As soon as the lyrics start, I’m reminded of old Saves The Day. Although I’m not sure why since it doesn’t sound like Chris Conley, but something really reminds me of Saves The Day in this song. I have a feeling that this song will be one of the most fun songs to see live. Stage dives and pile-ons, here we come! Track Five: The Weather Outside Is Weather Stickup Kid saved the best for last, in my opinion. The song is a full fledged pop-punk/punk rock anthem. It’s fast, fun, and everything you could want in a pop-punk song. This track definitely showcases the bands west coast hardcore influences in parts, and I feel like this will be one of the biggest songs of the summer in the pop punk community.  All in all, Stickup Kid are releasing a pretty awesome EP. Pick up Nothing About Me on June 5th via Adeline Records. 4/5.
