The Kicks came out of New York City with a straightforward indie rock sound. Their 2016 debut EP 'Hawk Eyes' featured the title track that got some attention, followed by the 2018 EP 'Echoes' and the 2020 album 'Field of Dreams.'
Scarlett Stevens handled lead vocals and guitar, with Ethan James on guitar and vocals, Jake Miller on bass, and Alex Anderson on drums. Their songs like '12 Steps,' '1984,' and 'Banana Seat' kept to a melodic, guitar-driven style.
At one point there were some accusations about similarities between 'Hawk Eyes' and another song, which the band denied. They kept putting out music through the late 2010s without much drama.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
