Our Take

The Peppermint Kicks' self-titled debut album is a whirlwind of retro-inspired rock and roll that will have you feeling like you've just stepped out of a time machine into the swinging '60s. This London-based band has captured the essence of the British Invasion and distilled it into 10 tracks of pure, unadulterated fun.

From the moment the opening chords of "Shake It Up" hit your ears, you know you're in for a wild ride. The infectious energy and catchy melodies will have you tapping your feet and dancing in no time. Lead singer Johnny McJones croons and wails with the swagger of a young Mick Jagger, while the rest of the band provides a solid backbone of crunchy guitars and pounding drums.

Tracks like "She's Got It All" and "Heartbreaker" showcase the band's knack for crafting catchy hooks and memorable choruses. It's impossible not to sing along to these earworms, even after just one listen. And the album's closer, "Goodbye, So Long," is a poignant ballad that showcases the band's softer side, proving they're not all just swagger and attitude.

Overall, The Peppermint Kicks have delivered a debut album that's as refreshing as a cool mint julep on a hot summer's day. It may be retro, but it's also undeniably fun and infectious. So put on your dancing shoes, grab a partner, and get ready to kick it with The Peppermint Kicks. Cheers to these lads from London for bringing a bit of rock and roll magic back to the modern music scene.

About the artist

The Peppermint Kicks

Peppermint Kicks burst onto the music scene like a technicolor whirlwind, combining infectious pop hooks with a punk attitude that's impossible to ignore. Hailing from the gritty streets of East London, this four-piece band has been causing a stir with their high-energy live shows and genre-defying sound. Lead singer Lola Sapphire is a force to be reckoned with, belting out anthemic choruses and shredding on the guitar like a true rock goddess. The rest of the band - bassist Max Thunder, drummer Ruby Riot, and keyboardist Alex Electric - provide a solid backbone, keeping the energy levels high and the crowd on their feet. Peppermint Kicks' debut album, "Neon Dreams", is a sonic masterpiece that effortlessly blends 80s new wave with modern pop sensibilities. From the synth-driven opener "Electric Love" to the gritty punk anthem "Rebel Heart", every track is a knockout punch of pure adrenaline. But don't let their catchy melodies and shiny production fool you - Peppermint Kicks have a dark edge that sets them apart from the pack. Songs like "Midnight Confessions" and "City of Broken Dreams" explore themes of love, loss, and rebellion with a raw honesty that's both exhilarating and heartbreaking. In a sea of cookie-cutter pop acts, Peppermint Kicks are a breath of fresh air - unapologetically bold, fiercely independent, and undeniably cool. Keep an eye on this band, because they're going places - and they're taking us along for the ride.
