::Biography::
While
all enrolled at Auburn University located in fricking
ALABAMA these four 20-somethings have worked their
asses off. Over the last 3 years during breaks and
holidays (some self-proclaimed) Kicking Howard didn't
go home, they piled in vans and rocked peoples faces
off. Playing over 55 venues throughout the east side
of the country- Kicking Howard has managed to open
for their heroes, Superdrag; play with a band from
their dream label, Drive-Thru Records; and even play
the ultimate punk rock club in the nation, New York
City's CBGB's. Kicking Howard has a proud sponsorship
with Billy Martin's (Good Charlotte) clothing company
Level 27. They sold over 2,000 of their debut CD-
many of which were sold to kids at the mall convinced
by a walkman and four southern accents. Before the
now defunct mp3.com Kicking Howard found over 22,000
people to download their music legally. And now, there
have been at least 40,000 downloads from purevolume.com.
On top of that, they just gained global distribution
from God's Child Music in Hong Kong to Europe and
Asia.
The band posts their lead singers AIM on their website
www.kickinghoward.com which also has a message board
with over 25,000 messages from their fans that they
insist on calling their friends. Kicking Howard has
proved over the last 3 years they are going to work
harder than any other band in the Southeast. They
have booked their own tours, sold hundreds of t-shirts,
made thousands of friends, and will have college degrees
in hand come next year! The goal is to find a label
to support their desire to tour 10 months out of the
year and of course, for you to fall in love with them.
A review: "Weezers back, younger and southern. Kicking
Howard from Auburn, Alabama has perfected power pop."
