“Housing ex members of Velocette, Hood and Comet Gain, you'd be forgiven for thinking that it would be a dream indie supergroup of sorts and Kicker don't disappoint in living up to the promise of such heady delights. 'City Limits E.P.' is the bands latest outing their fourth since their inception in 1998. Four tracks of differing clarity make this release an inspired collection. 'On your floor' is replete with the kind of 60's style keyboards that you just can't beat especially if they come part and parcel with a melody to make you swoon, blush and smile, though not necessarily in that order.

'The falling leaves' is a beefier prospect, again spiced in a glow of 60's kaleidoscopic garage pop and emerging from the same primordial soup as early Inspirals, Mystreated and ? and the Mysterions. Crafty or what? Sunshine pop at it's most ardent rears it's head on 'Gone and Forgotten', a jiggly wiggly vibrantly compulsive toe tapper of the highest order, spiced with glassy summery keyboards and guitars set to a tale of forgotten loves and we all know about that, though at the moment I've forgotten what I had to remember. 'Baby don't worry' is spoilt throughout trying to spot the 'magic chord' mentioned on the sleeve notes that's played by Phil the drummer. That said it's a nice piece of sedate pop that nicely rounds of this latest excursion to greatness.” Review of City Limits ep on losingtoday.com, October 2001
