Details:
The 3rd and latest release from The Kickbacks is "Blindside View". Arguably their best and most focused effort yet, the band have recorded a lush, roots pop/rock record this time out. Clever, melodic songwriting, twangin'' guitars, big vocal harmonies and even some horns on a few tracks.
Check out the songs "Spotlight Hits You", "Goin'' The Mile", "Banged Up, Black and Blue" and "He Was A Fire".

Some Reviews:
https://www.tradebit.com - October 2002
"From out of Boston, The Kickbacks kick out a tight, and well produced, roots-rock sound that alternates punchy and jangly, is full of hooks and varying in mood. At times sounding more like they''ve been bred from the late eighties Minneapolis scene (Soul Asylum, Replacements, etc.), they also have a similar feel as contemporaries Honeydogs and Gingersol. Their overall sound has "Guts and Soul" (to borrow from a song title)."
Metronome Magazine - October 2002
"This is one of the finest albums I''ve heard in some time from a Boston act. Lush arrangements, twangin'' guitars, pristine vocal harmonies and stellar songwriting rate The Kickbacks one of the best bands of 2002. Outstanding!"
