Kid Liberty hails from Texas. They do everything a little bigger in Texas. I keep expecting a pop punk album, but then it gets bigger. Double kick, lyrics about jealousy or stalking (I can’t quite tell), and lots of yelling (yes, that makes me sound like a 90 year old grandpa talking about his grand kids music. Maybe for a good reason). I was also expecting more of a Set Your Goals or A Loss For Words vibe. In a sense I was right. You know those songs on the latest SYG album that are a little … out there? You know, the one that feature a dude from Turmoil … Yeah, that’s what this WHOLE album sounds like. But throw in some autotune, high pitch yells and Simple Plan. Yeah, it’s sort of a mess. The thing is, I bet these dudes KILL it at Warped Tour. No idea if they played Warped Tour, but they should. As for me, I can’t quite hang. Wish I had seen them at Transmission Fest. That would have helped cement my feelings on this whole vibe. I know my feelings are biased by the album title. Seriously? Fight With Your Fists? That’s just bullshit “shelf candy.” Anything to sound edgy on that endless Hot Topic rack. They might as well call the album Eat Dinner With Utensils or Jog With Running Sneakers.
If this sounds like something you can get into, go head over to the new Bullet Tooth Records site. You can find links to downloads and album purchases. You can also find their merch on MerchNow. And if you are looking for some gems long gone by, there’s always Ebay. You just never know.
