From Wichita, KS, Soulicit is comprised of lead vocalist Darick Parson, guitarist Roll, bassist Kevin Parrow & drummer Trent Boehner and this is their debut album, released last year. They have been getting quite a lot of publicity, having the video for their debut single “Hell Yeah” played at 2012’s Superbowl for example. To my ears the band can be summed up in just one word, ‘Nickelback’. True, it was produced by Brett Hestla who is known for his work with Creed and one could argue that there is plenty of that band here as well, but the Canucks appear to have had the most influence. With that comment in mind, it really does then boil down to whether you enjoy that style of hard rock or not. If you do, then there is plenty here to enjoy with some singalongs, the typical power ballad, loads of ‘emotion’ and hooks aplenty. But, if you feel that Nickelback have long gone past their sell by date then this is something you need to avoid. It really is that simple.

Me, I found it an enjoyable album from start to finish without ever being essential and certainly not groundbreaking in any shape or form, but once it is on I am quite happy to let it play all the way through. www.soulicitrock.com
