The story
HYPNOTIC KICK was formed in July of 1994. The band started practicing in an old garage located at 38 Jefferson Ave., in Springfield's North End. From there came a couple of local bands and HYPNOTIC KICK was one of them. Since then HK emerged on the local and regional Western Mass scene. HK has grown in popularity, and still keep, each year, drawing lots of support.
In October of '95 HK released their first demo entitled "FINALLY" on Sike Records, that sold over 500 copies. While planning for their next release, HK continued to play local and regional shows with such national acts as: KORN, MONSTER MAGNET, SEBASTION BACH, HELMET, PAW SBC, TREE, ANOTHER SOCIETY, STAIND, HANDSOM and countless others. HYPNOTIC KICK also had the opportunity to play the 1997 WARPED TOUR. Their second release "Trapped in a Music Box" was put out on CD by Sike Records December 6, 1998. HYPNOTIC KICK's heavy, emo-melodic, hard-core sound is unmistakably heard on their debut release recorded at the ROCK SHOP in Westfield.
