The Sidekicks - Weight of Air
OK, so it’s been a month since the last time we met here. I’d say we were hard at work here at GDTS Command Center, but that would be an awful lie. So instead of making excuses, I’ll ask you to forgive my laziness and jump right back into it.
The Sidekicks are a young band from Cleveland, whose debut So Long, Soggy Dog is a strong addition to the hit-factory that is Red Scare Industries. This is not hyperbole, as I personally think everything Toby releases is gold. I mean, come on, they’ve released records by Teenage Bottlerocket, the Falcon, Sundowner, the Menzingers, Cobra Skulls, and others. Quality.
So here, the boys go for the follow-up to a lauded debut. Dark voices whisper “sophomore slump.” But those voices can shove it because Weight of Air is pretty awesome.
