Bio: Out of the Great Swamps and Passaic River floods emerge The MiCKS, with a visceral sound and radiant plumage like the cock before the dawning sun.

Press

“One day we’re going to turn it into an action figure.”

— Summer Dawn Hortillosa, The Jersey City Independent

“This commanding player, this regal-looking, born for the ‘70s frontman/guitar shredder fit right in. I knew we had to hold on to him.”

— Hal B. Selzer, The Aquarian Weekly: Local Noise

“With authentic sound, admirable personas, and a kick ass stage presence, The MiCKS are definitely creating a buzz in the blogosphere. Read more at http://limerencemag.com/2012/12/band-on-the-rise-the-micks/#ZBBsfG4GPOA3t3HY.99 ”

— Lawanda Johnson, Limerence Magazine

“This album succeeds largely because of the band’s unquestionable passion for a truly original and organic rock sound, the creative arrangements and undoubted musicianship, plus Matt’s alluringly warm voice.”

— Rick Jamm, Jams Sphere: The Indie Rock Magazine & Radio Network

“This New Jersey trio is a combination of your favorite rock spices: a dash of Led Zeppelin, a pinch of The Who, throw in a tablespoon of Neil Young blended with Bruce Springsteen, then top it off with a splash of The Beatles and set the grill on the fire.

— Joshua Smotherman, Middle Tennessee Music

“The Micks bring a thoroughly modern and refreshing touch to simple, catchy folk melodies, providing a collection of songs I guarantee you’ll enjoy...”

— Jim Testa, Jersey Beat

“Many of the songs take interesting mid-course turns, generating new narrative and emotional resonance... -Dig past the wild-eyed tatter on the surface, and this eponymous EP (due on December 11, 2012) displays real depth — both in emotion, and in musical complexity.... -Matt’s lyric sags with a twilit resignation. As with so much of The MiCKS, there a lot more going on here than immediately meets the ear.”

— Nick DeRiso, Something Else Reviews

“The MiCKS have a ton of charm, good songs and occasional lapses in judgment, which is another of rock’s traditions, although not its best one...”

— Jeffrey Lee Puckett, The Courier-Journal, Metromix, Louisville

“Optimistic and hopeful, The MiCKS' youthful energy brings a new spark to a genre that too often lacks in the inspiration department.”

— Devon Antonetti, The Deli

“With a sound that certainly feels like it would really light up a stage, The MiCKS look like a name to keep an eye on – especially for fans of classic Americana-laced Rock N Roll…”

— Pop Culturez Reviewer, Pop Culturez
