ICK are a band from Newmarket (New Hamspire) that debut with a six-song EP called SICK. They sure make an exciting entrance. Put ICK in the folder of bands that mix familiar elements to create something that sounds fresh and distinct. The SICK EP is a diverse affair and not just in its tempo variations. It’s definitely punk at its core, and the recordings have a played-directly-to-tape ramshackle charm. But listen with open ears and you’ll discover the wealth of styles (surf, psych, postpunk, garage, underground pop) ICK are fooling around with for our listening pleasure.
