This is the newest release and Epitaph debut of Columbus, Ohio based indie-rock group The Sidekicks. This band plays a kind of emo-leaning indie-rock that will remind you of 90s acts like Built to Spill. Frontman Steve Ciolek is recognizable as a contributing and touring member of Saintseneca, and elements that make him a fantastic supporting player for one band make him an excellent lead for the other.
