A race with no winners, presented in a song from The Kickback that is a winner.

Some days I want to just give Billy a hug, and others I want to high-five him and his bandmates for creating music that is so mind-blowingly terrific.* 

Everything about The Kickback's evolution since I first encountered the band has felt like the exact right step for the band to take, whether or not their fanbase was in lockstep. And right now one of the things I look most forward to is hearing new music from them—it's the sound of our times packaged in an extremely personal package.

Did you dig that? If so, catch up with other recently released tunes I've written about from them, "PreshMo" and "Kare."

*Side effect of the pandemic? I finally understand why people like high-fives.
