Ed Lucas Yes! Ever since seeing these guys on tour, I've been wanting to hear them play together again. This album does a great job of capturing their stage energy. Favorite track: We're Goin' In, We're Going Down - live studio recording.

about

Who is Cloudkicker?

For years this was asked on various message boards across the internet. This author posted the same question after a friend from Columbus sent a link saying “this is from a guy around here who gives away his music for free”. This was before that was a cool thing to do. This was before Bandcamp. This was before “pay what you like” was a phrase.

Every now and then a new record or EP would appear online. There was no label ‘hype machine’, no build up, no marketing, just great music and word of mouth. The mystery grew and eventually Cloudkicker was tracked down.

Cloudkicker is Ben Sharp, a one-man project hailing from Columbus, Ohio. He gave short interviews here and there, pieces were put together; he had a day job, music was for fun, he does everything on his own and he’d never tour or never work with a label.

Credit Los Angeles post-prog metallers, Intronaut for helping break one of his statutes. In early 2014 it was announced that Cloudkicker would tour North America with none other than Intronaut as his backing band.

“It was either Sacha (Dunable, Intronaut vocalist/guitarist) or Dave (Timnick, Intronaut guitarist) or both who floated the idea of using Intronaut as Cloudkicker’s band. I thought it was a nice gesture but didn’t really take it seriously since I figured there wouldn’t be any way to make a live show happen given the distance between us and my work schedule that has me traveling 3-4 days a week. Fast forward to this past fall when they came through Columbus again and we spent the evening discussing what the realities of a tour like that would be. It was definitely a fun topic to discuss, but moreover I was impressed by their genuine excitement to maybe, one day, have the opportunity to do this. And the fact that they are musicians of such caliber and professionalism made it obvious that there would be no problems handling the music and translating it to a live show with minimal time in the same room rehearsing it, so long as I provided them with appropriate materials with which to prepare.”

That he did and at the tail end of March, 2014, Sharp played his first show as Cloudkicker with Intronaut as his backing band in his hometown. A month of shows followed and luckily enough, the guys found time to enter a studio in Texas and record the set live.
