Alterkicks

I heard about Alterkicks, somewhere or other, over a year ago, before their first single was even recorded. What I heard was a rough version of “Do Everything I Taught You”, and I excitedly bought the single when it was released last year. And I bought their next single, “Oh Honey”, as well. But it just occured to me, about 15 minutes ago, that they seem to have disappeared. So I checked out their site and it seems that these guys are still unsigned! How is it possible that they don’t have a record deal, yet The Black Eyed Peas are still allowed to exist? There’s something seriously wrong with the world.

Anyway, Alterkicks - based on what you can listen to on their official site and their myspace page - aren’t especially groundbreaking, kind of general Indie with a capital ‘I’ (and I’m not implying that that’s a bad thing), but I like them a lot. I can’t even really say what it is about them that I like, but “Do Everything I Taught You” is a fantastic song, so you should at least give that one a listen. I sure hope someone will sign these poor guys soon.
