BLUEBURST ANNOUNCES ‘KICK MY TIRES’ EP – FOUR DISTINCT TAKES ON A FAN FAVORITE

Featuring a new hard-hitting remix, the original version, an instrumental, and a stripped-down “Nebraska” acoustic rendition

Following the growing success of their debut album Significance, Blueburst is keeping the momentum rolling with the release of the Kick My Tires EP on March 14, 2025. This dynamic collection revisits one of the standout tracks from Significance, presenting four distinct versions that each bring a unique perspective to the song’s raw energy and introspective themes.

“These new versions each bring a unique dimension to the song, which was already one of my favorites on the Significance album,” says Craig Douglas Miller, Blueburst’s frontman and creative force.

The Kick My Tires EP includes:
• “Kick Mix” – Remixed by Ben Etter
A bold, aggressive new mix that amplifies the intensity of the song, placing greater emphasis on Michael Jerome’s powerhouse drumming and bringing out extra parts that were left out of the original mix.
• Original Album Version
The mix fans already know and love from Significance, maintaining the album’s cohesive sonic landscape.
• Instrumental Version
A chance to experience the full weight of Blueburst’s layered guitars and rhythmic depth without vocals.
• “Nebraska” Version
A haunting, lo-fi acoustic take recorded on a vintage Tascam Portastudio 414 cassette 4-track, with only an Echoplex delay as an effect...  more

lyrics

Too many voices go racing around in my head
I can't cut through the noise and indecision just puts me to bed

Virtual strangers pass judgement on me and everything I do
My entire life's on trial by the whimsy of you

So kick my tires
Uncross my wires

I can't claim significance when I don't even control my next move
What's the point of anything if you need someone else to approve
There's a piece of me missing, some Freudian stage that I failed to get through
I can't love myself if I'm always beholden to you

So kick my tires
Uncross my wires

I think it's past time for me to get up and take hold of the wheel
I won't live according to Hoyle, I'm ready to deal

So kick my tires
Uncross my wires
