Outside Forces: Stickup Kid

Music Review

With intense guitar riffs and tumbling drums, Stickup Kid packs a punch in their album, "Nothing About Me."


Singer Tony Geravesh's vivid voice throttles the mic with a pure, raw passion that's unmistakably of human creation while guitarists Bo McDowell and Curtis Wallace bleed honesty through plastic pics and steel strings. And to tie it all together, bassist Jonathan McMaster joins forces with Cameron McBain on drums for an altogether wholly pop-punk rock set. Formed in 2009, Stickup Kid has since garnered the attention of fans locally and nationwide from their hometown of San Jose, California to right here in Philadelphia, and for good reason. These guys rule.



A slightly similar sound to bands like Title Fight, Stickup Kid's music is turmoil and pure, raw youth in action. Give their album a listen here and watch as blunt vocals and rough instrumental pierce you like a silver needle to the heart.
