Hailing from San Jose, Stickup Kid draws inspiration from other energetic Bay Area pop-punk crews like Green Day. It’s no surprise, then, that they were signed to Oakland’s Adeline Records, founded by the Billie Joe Armstrong, before the record label folded in 2017. Stickup Kid has been gigging since the 2009 release of their debut EP, Fight Nothing. In the ensuing years, the local boys have dropped two more EPs and three full-length albums—including their self-released 2019 project, Soul Drive, which showcases the band’s maturing sound.
