    Artist History
    Neck Kick was formed in the turbulent fall of 1999. The media called it "The Autumn of Indifference." It was in this powder-keg out of which Neck Kick exploded.Clinton was in the White House, people were making millions investing in stupid dot-coms, and most frighteningly - everyone we knew was turning 30.This was a time for action. Desperate times called for desperate measures. And other cliches.In an effort to recapture some shred of their misspent youth, the members of Neck Kick attempted to create a sound that would stave off their collective advancing age. They attempted to capture the sights, the sounds... The smells of a band on the road. But enough of my yapping. Whaddaya say? Let's boogie!
