Rebel Kicks – “Hamartia”

Based in New York City, brothers Anthony and Steven Babino were born into music, thanks to a professional singer/songwriter dad. They grew up listening to legends like Frank Sinatra and Bobby Darin, as well as Deep Purple and YES. Although they’ve always performed together, their current project was formed in 2018. They released their debut “Fall Of The American Dream” in that same year.

Named after a term from Greek tragedy meaning a fatal flaw that leads to the downfall of a hero, their new single tells the story of people who are their own worst enemy. Taken from their same-titled EP and wrapped in an infectiously upbeat pop-rock melody, it’s the rousing rhythm, crisp guitar riffs and their fresh, soulful vocals that give this vintage-dipped tune a neon-fuelled sparkle.
