It’s been nearly 8 months since we put out our last single, but it’s here. We’ve done it. Go and stream it, download it, play it, watch it. In reality, Living For Kicks is a song about all of us. Maybe, unbeknownst to ourselves, we’re all Living For Kicks? It’s the subconscious idea that’s in everyone and the finer meaning of what we do.

Sharp Class are a British power trio reigning from Nottingham that seamlessly merge the illustrious DNA of Power-pop, Punk, New Wave, Soul, Rhythm and Blues and Modernist Culture and make it their own. “Living For Kicks” is another example of front man Oliver Orton’s fantastic song writing ability and the punk & mod sounds are once again poignant throughout.

Sharp Class are known for releasing short, fast-paced songs with hard-edged melodies with catchy and memorable lyrics. “Living For Kicks” is another fantastic addition to the bands growing anthology of power-pop anthems.

When listening to Sharp Class I am instantly reminded of bands such as The Kinks, The Clash, The Jam, The Who and Sex Pistols. However they bring a revitalised feel to the Mod Sound, along with their sharp look and attention to detail the band continues to carve out their own path and make a name for themselves.
