KICKING CLOUDS ON INTO 2011 WITH A NEW CLOUDKICKER SONG

 Monday, January 3rd, 2011 at 2:30pm by

Cloudkicker - You and YoursThis is probably old news to you if you spent the time between Christmas and New Year’s parked in front of your computer like we most certainly did not, but for the rest of you; Cloudkicker — aka Ben Sharp, recipient of many MetalSucks’ writers Best of 2010 lists — has released a new song called “You and Yours.”

As usual, the song is available for free on Cloudkicker’s Bandcamp page. I’m continually impressed by just how prolific Sharp is; an EP, full-length and bonus song all in one year is pretty damn impressive. Of course, his status as an unsigned home-recording musician and self-professed hobbyist in the Internet age makes this all possible, but while it’d be just as easy to turn out piece of crap after piece of crap “You and Yours” is up to the high standards that Cloudkicker fans have come to expect.

Check out “You and Yours” here; if history is any indication, there will be more Cloudkicker music on the way soon. Oh hey, and there’s a sweet new Cloudkicker t-shirt available too.

    I picked up a T-Shirt. It was the only way to follow my current way of supporting bands by downloading everything for free but using the money i save to go to as many shows and possible and buy merch. It’s too bad Ben doesnt seem to want to tour. I would go in a second.

    Dude is consistently great. It’s good that he’s starting to get the recognition he deserves.

    Right? He even remastered ]]][[[ as well. Though the new song titles on it are a tad obnoxious…

    Yep, another great song. I think I’ll have to buy a t shirt, but I’ll wait until the second design comes out.

      Dankmeyer is pretty badass as well… I’m not sure if I like Arcologies as much as X, though, although I need more time to absorb it properly.

    If you like Ben’s more ambient styled pieces, check out his B.M. Sharp stuff.

    Personally, I enjoy it more than the Cloudkicker stuff, but then, I am an old man.

      The second link doesn’t work, do you have another link to that page perhaps?

      • JGB

        it needs the ! at the end of the link. Not sure why that wasn’t tagged as part of the hyperlink.
