If you had a ton of free time between drama, calculus, and writing articles for SparkNotes' community section, what would you do with it? This is what North Carolina teen Peter Lalush does with his time: use his home computer to program drums and bass, and record vocals and guitar over it. With influences all across the board from Anberlin to Aerosmith, from Family Force 5 to the Foo Fighters, and from Switchfoot to Skillet, Peter's music projects - which he has dubbed A.I.R. - go hard and go literally everywhere, genre-wise. "Kick" is A.I.R.'s second official release after 2011's demo album "Atypical", and it offers up more of the same - hard rock with a pop edge (or is it pop rock with a heavy edge?) - taken to levels higher than Felix Baumgartner jumped out of a balloon from. "Kick" is living proof that it doesn't take a million producers and songwriters to make a good pop album; as with the beginnings of legendary rock outfits Foo Fighters and The Almost, sometimes, it just takes one. So get ready for a little bit of the new spirit of rock and roll. Let's make some noise.
