Kick Box Riot - Seeing Ghosts

Self Released

The sound of youth is an elusive beast indeed. Take Kick Box Riot – their jumpy, jerky rock is the kind of pogoing behemoth which typifies the chart music climate of about three years ago. The brash, shouty vocals and angry rock guitars from the Welsh five-piece sound fairly bandwagonesque for sk8ers, and from the lacklustre opener ‘The Hitchhiker’ to the Home Alone-referencing ‘Keep The Change You Filthy Animal’, they just sound like a Poundstretcher Lostprophets. This mini-album doesn’t get close to being haunted by original thought, which is somewhat undervaluing the kids. Kirstie McCrum
