PAPA's new album Kick at the Dust is an affront to the burden of modern "culture" and an assertion of personal identity, defined through independent thought rather than a "lifestyle" that's been packaged and sold.

Over the past five years, the Los Angeles band has seen the ins and outs (and ups and downs) of the entertainment industry — having gone from D.I.Y. to the major leagues with varying woes and successes throughout. Creative partners and childhood friends Darren and bassist Danny Presant now testify through their music that the ideas of "success" mean very little within a system built for a product rather than an artist.

Kick at the Dust is a line in the sand. It is a resistance and a protest to the pervasive culture that promotes "recognition" as validation, regardless of its cause or outcome, to be the ultimate gratification. The apex for the young American is fame. But the album is also a celebration, a proclamation of independence. This music is vibrant, electric and bombastic. It's relentless and evocative.
