Wilmington, NC based rock quintet Kicking Bird are not afraid to have the needles hovering in the red on their new album 11 Short Fictions. Why go for a clean guitar tone when you the opportunity - and ability - to make it loud and nasty. Tracks like Good Lighting and Where'd You Get Those Pants bring back the heyday of both psychedelic and glam rock in one big swoop.
Bluesy stompers Pardon Me (What Did He Say) and Mister Morning might get people in some trouble on the dance floor for being a little too much lost in the groove, but they can do some damage control with the melancholic Too Much Talking. Their previous album Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was filled with a treasure trove of A-sides. Bad news for the competition: they are not done yet. It is another slam dunk release.
