{"product_id":"punch-drunk-2","title":"Punch Drunk","description":"\u003cp\u003ePunch Drunk is the second album from London-based trio More Kicks. The band's self-titled debut album was a concise and ragged lesson in pop songwriting dripping in melody, cynicism and energy-Punch Drunk marks a new era for the band. Heavier, more expansive, more twists and turns. It veers from sparkling harmonies to fearsome riffing in the blink of eye, with never a second wasted. As with the first record, it was recorded live on to 2-inch tape. It's bottled lightning and the sound of a band firing on all cylinders.\r\nJames Sullivan aka Sulli (vox \/ guitar), Kris Hood (drums), and Paolo Mantovani (bass \/ vox) have cooked up a rare alchemy. The result: a More Kicks song can touch on classic '60s garage, '70s NYC rock and roll, jagged '90s guitar pop-all wrapped in a razor sharp bundle. A glance backwards and a decisive step forwards.\r\n\"When the world collapsed in 2020, I realised more than ever how much I rely on music and More Kicks, \" says Sulli. \"This album became a total obsession and a lifeline. Stuck in one place, the songs all came from heartbreak, frustration, anger, hope. It feels like a unique set of circumstances that produced this record and I'm really proud of what we've done.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinyl.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49973324185842,"sku":"3481575559013","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/4127184-2886973.jpg?v=1787602144","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/punch-drunk-2","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
