Description

Somewhere out in the pop music universe lie The Kickbacks. For the past 10 years, they've blended the sounds of Americana, Pop, Rock, Indie and Folk into hook filled songs that at times draw familiar comparisons, but also are instantly recognizable as their own. Led by singer/songwriter Tad Overbaugh, The Kickbacks have released 3 albums: Longitude (1998), Blue Mans Collar EP (2000) and Blindside View (2002). Their last release Blindside View, earned the band favorable reviews all over Europe, Japan and parts of the USA. The bands new album "Motel Stars" (2006), produced by guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Steve Scott, is the latest snapshot of the band from 2003-2005. The current lineup is rounded out by Matt Arnold on bass and Perry James (ex-Hedwig & The Angry Inch, Rasputina, Janet LaValley) on drums.

The Band:
Tad Overbaugh - Vocals, Guitar, Tunes
Steve Scott - Guitar, Vocals, Keys, Producer
Matt Arnold - Bass
Perry James - Drums

Here's what they're saying about "Motel Stars":

MilesOfMusic.com - (April 2006)
It has been said often that The Kickbacks - led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Tad Overbaugh - capture a melodic rock vibe recalling a certain over-noted Minneapolis band of `80s roots-rock fame. True as that is, these Bostonian rockers break the mold some on their 4th release, Motel Stars. They turn a half-hour - broken down into 10 bite-size pieces - into a veritable Whitman Sampler of pop confections with names to match each flavor: Greed, Regret, Longing, Obsession, Heartbreak and Heart-Repair. It`s not all power-chords and jangle though on Motel Stars. "Fixed To Be Broken" offers a muted and airy bit of introspection, swaddled in the solace of self-medication. But when they come on with a tight and sassy hook in tunes like "Lethal Charm" and "I Crash Cars" you might very well find yourself gunning it if you're behind the wheel. -- Robinson, Miles Of Music

With their fourth album "Motel Stars", this four-piece from Boston, MA delivered an exciting, hybrid sound. Their new release has the interesting ability of smacking of all sorts of familiar sounds (rock, pop, indie, folk and hints of 'Americana') coupled with a new, interesting way of fusing the same. Thumbs up guys.
