Kickback

We're in this for the naan

About Me

Kickback are 5 positively positive individuals and 1 negative nancy, united by a love of playing music that is fast, powerful, melodic, and danceable. The band formed in late 2006, with their first gigs being tour support to Germany's Greedy Bees on their second UK tour.
'With a great mixture of ska-punk, ska and even a bit of ..well almost salsa, followed by harder heavier rock beats this band was a delight. They entertained, they enlightened, they gave you pleasure and you really felt that you should be ashamed but were too busy enjoying it to care! Their set wasn't long enough. They left us wanting more, always a good thing. I know I want to see them again.' - Justice Promotions.
After a series of member changes during 2007, the band has settled on the current lineup, with plans to record and tour during March 2008 after a long break from gigging.
Kickback play fast, loud and melodic punk with some ska thrown in for good measure. We are all celebrities and all play/have played in other bands who you might have heard of, which include Sonic Boom Six, Chief, Catch-It Kebabs, The Fractions and Stand Out Riot.
If you'd like us to play a show, just drop us a message through here, someone will get back to you! And if you've seen us at a show and enjoyed what you saw, let us know!
