\"\"With US pop-punk being hugely popular right now, the “scene” is more than likely to become filled with bands who struggle to find their identity. Thankfully for San Jose’s Stickup Kid<\/strong> this isn’t an issue as their new EP ‘Nothing About Me’<\/em> is a pulsating collection of hardcore-influenced pop-punk that is thorough.<\/p>\n

The band kicks things off as they mean to go on with ‘Breathing,’<\/em> a thrashing, harmonious number that is straight-to-the-point with confidant vocal work from Tony Geravesh. Whilst ‘Lighthouse’<\/em> is\u00a0relentlessness\u00a0in its tempo with pounding drums leading to a calm guitar part before “woah” gang vocals bring the track home.<\/p>\n

Admittedly Stickup Kid don’t reinvent the pop-punk wheel but its clear on tracks like ‘Dreaming Of Kenny Rogers’<\/em> and ‘You Are Captain Hook’<\/em> that the band have the capability to keep your attention and leave a strong impression on each track. And whilst the lyrical subject matter of ex-girlfriends and friends is slightly sterotypical within the genre, the bands writing is focused and gives them that needed edge to standout from the growing crowd.<\/p>\n

It’s no doubt fans of the genre will eat this up and rightly so they should. Edgy guitars, pounding drums and catchy hooks is more or less always a winning combination, and with Stickup Kid’s consistent thriving energy ‘Nothing About Me’<\/em> should open doors for the quintet in the coming months and make them stand out from the ever-growing crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n

4\/5<\/p>\n

‘Nothing About Me’<\/em> by Stickup Kid<\/strong> is released on June 5th through Disconnect Disconnect<\/a><\/strong> (UK)\/Adeline Records<\/a><\/strong> (US).<\/p>\n
