The Sidekicks Join Epitaph Records

Columbus, Ohio indie act The Sidekicks has signed on with Epitaph Records.  The band will release a new album entitled Runners in the Nerved World on January 20, 2014.  The album was produced by Phil Ek (Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes, Built to Spill, and The Shins) in Seattle, WA.  Vocalist and guitarist Steve Ciolek comments on what to expect:

“At its core, Runners in the Nerved World is about getting past the excitement of growing up and finding new ways to simulate that movement… The point the record is supposed to make is that it’s often pretty arbitrary how that movement is simulated. Regardless of the situation, inevitably the characters in these songs just get stuck in those cycles. The record tries to deconstruct that inertia–that constant motivation to run.”

The first single, “Deer,” can be heard here. Pre-orders are now live.
