Delaware-based old school punk rock band The Kickboy has released some excellent singles in recent years. I highly recommend its blistering 2022 single "Kids" and its 2023 tracks "Sanitized" and "Abrupt Drug Holiday." Its modern holiday classic "Christmas with the Clash" is now up on the streaming sites as well. The Kickboy's latest single is actually a resurrected version of an old song. "Visions In My Mind (eyeball soup)" is a tribute to Vince's friend Adam Smith (Love Muscle, Das Kickboy). The song was originally demoed by Love Muscle back in the early '90s. Vince has reimagined it as a new recording for The Kickboy, and it's quite a stunner. You can hear various influences intersecting here: reggae, punk, and even some old school goth/death rock. The playing and production on this track are truly top-notch. I love the way those bass lines dance in unison with the guitars, and Bobbi's vocal really hits the mark. This is a powerful, hypnotic tune, and I'm glad Vince brought it back and re-worked it. If you're not yet following The Kickboy on Spotify, what in the world are you waiting for?
