Channeling classic rock and Americana, New Jersey based trio The Micks released their self-titled debut EP in November. The band began playing in Jersey City in 2010 with McMickle brothers Matt, on guitar, and Sam, on drums, and were later rounded out by bass player Hank Prol. Optimistic and hopeful, The Micks’ youthful energy brings a new spark to a genre that too often lacks in the inspiration department. The album was recorded entirely on analog, which fits the band’s homage to the early days of rock. – Devon Antonetti
