The Stick AroundsThe Stick Arounds bring forth bombastic garage rock, sharp Byrds-esque pop, Guided By Voices inspired abandon, and classic rock turned on its’ ear - all threaded together with instrumental ingenuity and a penchant for clever and thoughtful lyrics. Tying all of that together is a signature three guitar attack featuring lush vocal harmonies, all backed by a pulsing rhythm section.Waiting For The Click - EP, released 09 April 20211. Close To Being Close2. Redtail Hawks3. Easy To Take4. Ode To Kid MarineIn their 10 plus years as a band, Lansing Michigan's The Stick Arounds have never shied away from the music that inspired them. Three full-length LPs and a dozen singles later, the influence of the songcraft of bands like Sloan, Teenage Fanclub, Big Star, and other power pop luminaries is as evident as ever on their new EP 'Waiting For The Click'"We're Not Even Close" is the painfully familiar tale of failed relationships, told in the most midwest way possible: through rock bombast akin to bands like Cheap Trick and The Replacements."Redtail Hawks" couples that same energy with a bit of straight vintage swagger reminiscent of T. Rex, and handclaps directly inspired by Motown records.The vocal harmonies that have become part of the Stick Arounds signature sound are immediately apparent on "Easy To Take", as is the Byrdsian guitar approach that harkens back to some of the band's favorite classic country records and early country rock. Gram Parsons would have loved this. Simultaneously a call for help and call to arms, “Ode To Kid Marine” is an open love letter to drowning your sorrows in a few beers and a favorite record. Named for a terrific solo Bob Pollard record, this track epitomizes the glory and inherent regret in blasting an album and drinking to make it through the night. Four tight and taut songs make up this ten minute trip into an approach rooted deeply in harmony, threadbare honesty, and the enduring power of rock and roll.This is a Phonophore Records and GTG Records co-release.
