AS HEARD ON:


“Despite claiming to be influenced by Radiohead, The Little Kicks still manage to make upbeat disco-rock. Lead singers Steven’s voice does emcompass Thom Yorke’s drawl, but he’s got a bit of Richard Ashcroft to him too. Mixed with Smiths-like melodies it’s pretty fresh-sounding stuff.” NME

"The Little Kicks (****)...inject some energy into the night by upping the pace...keeping their focus on classic pop hooks. Their radio-friendly style sounds like a more innocent take on The Strokes on One More Time, or a more pensive Franz Ferdinand on We Came Alive, proving that old fashioned guitar pop is alive and well." THE SKINNY

“If anyone has the songs and ability to be a breakout act from this night then the most likely are The Little Kicks. They have a songwriting maturity that belies their years, and their set is over all too quickly. Push old ladies on Zimmer frames out of the way to get to see this lot next time they’re in your town.” ARTROCKER MAGAZINE

"Armed with a set of memorable tunes and from the moment they ring out the delicate introduction of opener Let Me Down, they have the crowd firmly on their side. Faves tonight are the Beatles-y Don’t Give Up So Easily and a belting Chances We’ve Had. On the strength of this, it won’t be long before Little Kicks are getting big licks from the music industry headhunters." - NEWS OF THE WORLD

"...fragrant indie vignettes revealing them to be steeped in alluring melodies and worthy of bigger crowds." THE SCOTSMAN

"...Smiths-influenced, Franz-style art-pop which is certainly eminently danceable. ‘Who Do You Love?’ provides the emotional highpoint, but from the first chords of ‘Don’t Give Up So Easily’ it’s clear that this band are here to stay. This four-piece are sounding bright, bouncy and well-polished. **** (4/5 stars) -IS THIS MUSIC? MAGAZINE ..

"Their set is another winner; the jangly guitars and pounding rhythms, reminiscent at times of a less electronic New Order, if there is any justice then The Little Kicks shall be massive." THE FLY ..

".....What would probably destroy a lot of indie bands proves rather fruitful for this duo. Stripped bare, Milne’s gripping voice is given the attention it deserves. Strong and believable and accompanied by gently picked melodies and clever interchanging rhythms, his lonesome vocal is perfectly understated. The inability to hide behind heavy beats and whining electrics reveals that these boys do play nicely with a set as warm as their aforementioned cardies. Their well-crafted pop songs and pretty laments can clearly be dressed up or down. Hopefully it won’t be long before someone takes a chance on this unsigned gem." IS THIS MUSIC?

"The final group tonight are The Little Kicks, a group from Aberdeen who have already been lauded by many critics and they do not disappoint. Despite appearing reticent, Steven Milne is a real talent who walks around the stage with a confidence that belies his bashful manner when speaking to the audience. The group deserve the adulation they have been receiving; straight to the point and bursting with attitude; a perfect way to close the night." THE SKINNY

"Even stripped down to an acoustic guitar and Steven’s voice, Little Kicks songs like Don’t Give Up So Easily and One More Time sound powerful and like the hits they should be. The set comes to a close with a cover of New Order’s Temptation which works wonderfully acoustically and we are reminded why we can’t wait for The Little Kicks to return to the live stage next month." IS THIS MUSIC?

"....Tonight's set brings, amongst others, a song that sounds like Echo and the Bunnymen on sherbet and a fantastic closer based around a warming synth that pits early Pulp against even earlier Marc Bolan. It's surely only a matter of time before someone takes a chance and signs them." CULTURE DELUXE -

"...ratcheting up the energy levels and exhibiting the kind of style that's instantly accessible to an audience...sufficient to convince even the hardiest cynic that they’ve got what it takes to be just as successful in their own right... it wouldn’t be too big a surprise if The Little Kicks all become rock stars in the not too distant. - GIG REVIEW - LIMBO EDINBURGH
