Frequent purveyors of feel-good melancholia Victory Kicks began life in early 2013 as a home recording project for songwriter and guitarist John Sibley. After piecing a makeshift studio together at home, early EP's and singles containing short, lo-fi pop songs were recorded and shared amongst friends and family.

Victory Kicks then went from solo project to band with the addition of friends from other London based acts and established its own record label with the release of its first official EP, Rockets for Ghosts in July 2013.

The EP gained favourable reviews and receiving airplay for the first time on stations in both the UK (including the BBC) and the USA.

Taking the decision to record music at home allowed the band the flexibility to recore a steady stream of new material and since the release of its debut EP Victory Kicks has released 2 further EP' and four full lenght albums, most recently 2016's Get Blurred and the new album Emilys Hours.
