Album Review: Mirrorkicks - Mirrorkicks

Mirrorkicks claim experience from previous bands but represent the eventual embracing of the reunion between childhood friends. Their self-titled debut shows the signs of musicians having tried a few things out in their past outfits.

Opening trio "On TV", "Anything" and "Podium" are good pop-rock examples of what the band can achieve. Resourceful pop anthems delivered with enthusiasm and some memorable choruses to strike them home. "Podium" especially shows a band with a good set of ideas and some interesting string arrangements to back up its emotional ambitions.
