Sonic Maze by Fiippin' Kick Outs

The second album by Sydney's Flippin' Kick Outs.

Rock music reaches back into the past but to live in the present it has to create the future. There is the inspiration of the blues and its variations, rockabilly, garage, soul, punk, psychedelia and even prog to draw whenever a new song is invented, or a cover version re-imagined. Sounds might evoke something we have heard before but can be remade into something new. This can happen when one person sits down with a guitar to strum, or when the band gets in the band room and just starts jamming on a riff. Something is conjured from everything which has gone before but something unique is created. The FKO’s pay homage to what has come before but seek a way forward. We have ventured into the Sonic Maze on our own journey of discovery, and invite you to follow us.
