“In 2005 we, Officer Kicks, made a band. Fanatical about making a record on our own terms we decided to raise the money ourselves. After hundreds of bring’n’buy sales, street theatre appearances and car washing marathons we saved enough shekels to go to Oasis’ studio where the likes of Kasabian and The Coral recorded.

We spent three weeks perfecting The Six Grand Plot, an album that can only be described as unsafe, muscular and whip like.

We then decided to brush up on the live performance. We played Over 100 times in 2006/2007 (UK and Europe), mixed the album at the famous Olympic studio and mastered it with the legend that is Ray Staff (Led Zep, Bowie, Libertines etc.

Independent label, Redemption, pressed up finished CDs of THE SIX GRAND PLOT. It's released this summer.

We are not really ones for studio trickery and prefer to take a more classic approach. We follow in the traditions of Foo Fighters, Led Zeppelin and Kings of Leon, I suppose. We not afraid to indulge in a ballad or accidentally write a tune that will touch a wider audience...”
