Very good these days.

Mcfly?

got at least two hits but could do with better recordings.

Signing to Sony I hear.

Saw these guys on tv tonight, gettin a great response on their myspace from their fans, great edgy songs, sounded great on the tv, i think we'll be seein a lot more of these guys, got themselves with good mgt, who obviously know what they're doin, and have success with scouting for girls. As for comparin them to mcfly, havin checked out just for kicks's myspace and listened to their songs they are writing about real things and real life, and if they get the success that mcfly have had, then brilliant, won't be long before a label snaps them up, especially if they are in talks already. Good luck boys.
Stevo.

Yeah these guys have come on fantastically, they have hit songs, and are a nice breath of fresh air into the industry , bring it on, they are also extremely nice guys, so if rumours about signing to sony are true, then i'm sure all the hard work will be rewarded soon.
One more drink is a corker. www.myspace.com/justforkicksofficial

Does nothing for me at all I'm afraid; every track sounds like someone else.

Seconded.

to be fair I don't think your their target market, JK.

Most kids- sadly - will have never heard of Squeeze. Being slightly derivative didn't harm Oasis.

Busted?

Busted and Mcfly comparisons????
I really can't see how you could come to that decision, Just For Kicks are nothing like them at all, you clearly have no idea about music, and can't tell 1 genre from another. They are 5 young lads writing about real life, where as pretty much every busted and mcfly song, were written about girls and love. I agree with someones comment above, Just for kicks are a great act bringing something exciting to the industry. The only similarity i would say is that Just For Kicks are totally capable of reaching the same amount of success as both busted and mcfly, and i'm sure they'll have longevity.

Hi;

I like the real life ethic of this band, they are almost like Squeeze playing ska.
I noted that on their website that they noted Haircut 100 as an influence, which I have to say I did not pick up on myself.

I liked the addition of the "OYS!", on the song "One More Drink" as I felt it summed up the UK drinking culture perfectly in a simple, almost unreal word, of which at some stage crept into the language as did "OK".

I have to say that I don`t agree with the Busted or McFly likeness, there is no over-production on these recordings, they sound very natural.

I like them.

AH

Good band - got em booked for a Manchester gig next April

Remind me of the Vacancy before they turned into Go:Audio

Yeah great band, saw them on ditto, thought they did a great job, seem to be very active on myspace, building a fanbase and raising their profile.
Good luck guys i'm sure you'll go far.
