The ambitious and organically exploding Officer Kicks release their infectious new-wave anthem, PICTURES OF ME on July 28th. It previews their debut LP, THE SIX GRAND PLOT, which follows…… This plot is for real. Officer Kicks are on a roll courtesy of their authentic pop standards, and a small but lively following, spawned by gigs that could raise the dead. Since last year they’ve gigged with Lethal Bizzle, Ocean Colour Scene, Jack Penate, The Hoosiers, The Courteeners, The View, Nine Black Alps and more, ending 2007 ended with debut single, Dog Day Rush, which earned them Xfm Scotland Single Of The Week , a livesession and the day time play list.
2008 began with "Bands To Watch" tips in Heat Magazine/Morning Star Newspaper plus Steve Lamacq, Nuts TV, Xfm London, local BBC Radio etc. Recently their alternative plan has excited business to support them with free rein over their own label, We Make Things and their live reputation has earned them summer festival slots. 19th June The Boiler Room, Guilford with Cage the Elephant 20th June Soul Tree, Cambridge with Cage The Elephant 25 June Monto Water Rats, London (headline - 9.45pm)
