After hitting the road in April, The Incredible Kicks will be wrapping up their tour in Brisbane, delivering a taste of what’s to come, with their brand new single –“Any Excuse”.

Painting the picture of a quirky little love story, “Any Excuse” is a delightfully catchy song laden with sweet melodies and three-part harmonies. In a dynamic shift for the band, Any Excuse demonstrates The Incredible Kicks wearing their “Pop-Rock” shoes and socks. A popular crowd favourite at live shows this cruisy song has a bright summer feel going on, not suitable for manic depressives, and probably not appropriate for a funeral unless it’s on the Californian coast. An uplifting song with a great vibe leaving listeners on a high.

After a three year hiatus REVEREND AND THE MAKERS are back with their third and arguably best album yet. It’s entitled ‘@reverend_makers’ because, as Jon McLure explains, “the songs the little situations I see living in Sheffield in 2012. Nothing seems to sum up the present and the times we live in more than the @ symbol.”

Gone are the politics that informed the last two albums and in their place is an aural reportage of the everyday, the big and the little stories of a northern city in the grand tradition of fellow Yorkshire men such as Pulp and Arctic Monkeys.

McLure explains ‘I was fed up with what I was doing. I got right into political stuff and I was mardy all the time. It was making me miserable and I needed time out. I went a bit bonkers basically but I’m back in a good place now. This album is much more upbeat. Basically, I cheered the fuck up mate.’
