Started by guitarist David Burns and vocalist Bobbie Flanders in the winter of 2016, with the lineup being completed by bassist Lacy Ellinwood and co-guitarist Sarah Grace Shepherd in early 2017, and finally with the addition of current drummer Austin Tingle at the start of 2023.

It wouldn’t be difficult to categorize KICKING with over-used, hip but otherwise irrelevant genre buzzwords, but that would be doing a disservice to the sound. KICKING draws influence from 90’s alt rock and grunge giants to the more subdued elements of shoegaze and post punk, with traces of hardcore and riotgrrl still showing proudly through-all while trying to create music that is authentic to the individual members. 

KICKING is a volume dream, KICKING is a bunch of grungy, shoegazing punx. KICKING is a band from Jackson Mississippi.
