Smooth 80s Rock
For those who thought that 80s rock died in the 80s, think again because Officer Kicks are ready to reignite that sleazy rock style. ‘The Kraken’ is a full-on, Motley Crue-esque onslaught with taught vocals, crashing guitars and an irrepressible desire to get you dancing around your living room to those dirty riffs. It’s not one for the connoisseurs, but it’s big, bold, brash rock served with plenty of gusto.
While ‘The Kraken’ gets stuck on helicopters, B-side ‘Mona Lisa’ returns to the sleaze rock staple - women. It’s a lithe, catchy tune with a really punchy chorus, serving the same kind of ballsy rock as the single, but with a little added change in dynamics that makes the chorus stand out even more. As long as people want straight up rock with a kick, Officer Kicks will be filling a necessary gap in the market.
