The Sidekicks...deserve to be heard

Altpress

The Sidekicks are a band that I have recently started to listen to.  They are a pop punk band consisting of four members.  They are from Cleveland, Ohio and they are starting to gain more recognition.  I find the band to be very talented and they have a very calm tone to their music.  Its just good music to listen to when you want to chill and relax.  The lead singer's voice is very clean which is something that I find adds to the music.  His voice helps create that calm tone throughout their songs.

The lead singer also has emotion in his voice, specifically in their live performances, which is something that I have referenced continually in this blog as being important.  The main reason for that is...well its just very important.  At least to me anyway.  I think emotion and passion in a band can make or break you.  Lacking emotion makes it seem as though you don't care or believe what you're saying which can really take away from the song.  Luckily, The Sidekicks have this emotion and it is for that reason that I particularly enjoy listening to them.

Before finding this band, Jack Johnson has always been my "go to" when doing homework.  I listen to plenty of other bands while doing homework as well, but the calmness and chillness of Jack Johnson's music makes it very easy to listen to when I'm trying to do work.  I can easily see this band becoming a popular band of choice when I want to listen to some music while I get my work done.  If you are someone who likes to listen to some chill music when you're doing work, then I would recommend checking this band out.  If not, I would still recommend checking them out.  They actually just came out with a new album entitled "Awkward Breeds" which is very good, at least from what I've listened to so far.

Songs like "A Healthy Time" and "Day Staring" are perfect examples of the very clean, yet punk sound of this band and they're worth taking a listen to.  These are also the first couple of songs that I listened to by The Sidekicks.  This is mainly because there are not many of their songs on YouTube which is usually the first place I check to find music.  Nonetheless, they're great songs and they're a great place to start in getting into a great band who is deserving of some attention.
