"Sludge-sleek pop songs with spiky guitars and ear splitting noise freakouts: ones to watch." - The Guardian

The High Kicks are DJ duo Becky Stefani and Nikki Vaughan - aka the singer and bass player from electro pop gang We Start Fires. Not content with simply rocking out on stage, the band set up Club Strut in their hometown of Darlington for a glittering night of spiky punk, electro, new wave and pop & indie rock & roll! High Kicks's fascinating duo and their mates, Melissa and Ashley, have garnered a cult following after being named NME's DJ of the week, and playing at prolific shows like the UK's NME Awards, the Queens of Noize night at London's 333 and further afield at the British Underground in Tokyo, Japan.

Best described to own the now sound of new wave, combining "the best punk of Blondie and the pop sensibilities of Siouxie and the Banshees" (Art Rocker), expect sassy rocking dynamics as the impish Becky and Nikki stage their laser guided debut!
