The Soundboard about the new song The Dich:

"It’s songs like this that ultimately reinforce the fact that Hause is one of folk-punk’s more reliable songwriters."

Short Kick review at Trunkspace - https://openthetrunk.com/kick/

"... it’s “Kick” that proves the 41-year-old is a voice worth listening to as he perfectly blends thought-provoking concepts and themes with more hooks than a tackle box.
Hause has the ability to project enthusiasm through his music..."

Punk Rock Theory / Rating 8.5/10 - https://punkrocktheory.com/music_reviews/dave-hause-kick

„...his strongest offering to date.“

The Soundboard / Rating 8/10 - https://thesoundboardreviews.com/2019/04/10/album-review-kick-by-dave-hause/

„In truth though, Kick is a remarkably watertight listen with very little to complain about.“

Stageload (German) / Rating 6/8 - http://www.stageload.org/reviews/dave-hause-kick

„... ein gelungenes Album .... Dave Hause hat es geschafft, auch auf seinem neuen Tonträger gut zu klingen, relevant zu bleiben und irgendwie eben auch er selbst.“

Upset Magazine / Rating 3/5 - https://www.upsetmagazine.com/reviews/dave-hause-kick

"An album of hope and resistance, his songwriting has the well-worn familiarity of a comfortable pair of shoes, but there’s enough energy and anger on show to ensure ‘Kick’ is a worthwhile addition to Hause’s canon."

High Fives & Stage Dives - https://highfivesnstagedives.com/2019/04/11/album-review-dave-hause-kick/

"The year is young but we’re calling it – Kick is 100% in our top ten records of the year, and it’ll be tough to kick it off the throne."

"With Kick, his fourth solo LP and third for Rise Records, Dave Hause defies the notion that singer/songwriters often run out of gas this deep into their careers. Rather, Kick represents arguably his strongest and most inspired record yet."

Jaded In Chicago - http://www.jadedinchicago.com/2019/04/dave-hause-kick/

"Dave Hause continues to write some of the catchiest and most earnest music out there and it’s great to see him return with Kick."

Heavy Blog Is Heavy - http://www.heavyblogisheavy.com/2019/04/22/unmetal-monday-4-22-2019/

"Hause’s transparency, heartland vocals, and introspection make this album a 2019 essential."

Nexus Newspaper - https://www.nexusnewspaper.com/2019/05/15/new-music-revue-dave-hauses-kick-a-2019-essential/

"From the first to the last, Hause demonstrates a clear and bitter understanding of the negative effect of the modern world on the individual, and the importance of love to withstand the dangerous swells and swirls."

Music Closeup - https://musiccloseup.com/2019/06/18/album-review-dave-hause-kick/

"... Kick is among the finest releases of Hause’s musical career."

New Noise Magazine - https://newnoisemagazine.com/review-dave-hause-kick/

"Kick is Hause’s fourth record, the second one he’s made with heavy assistance from his brother Tim, and dare I say, his best ever."

Rhythm Reload - https://rhythmreloadmag.com/2019/08/09/kick-the-system/

"Comfortable, affirming, and bright, Kick is another great record from one of the best and most prolific rock n roll troubadours of our time."

The Fire Note - https://thefirenote.com/2019/08/22/dave-hause-kick-album-review/

"... this album is testament as to why I often tell people he's a modern Bob Dylan."

"... Kick is indeed one of the most important records you'll listen to this year."

Punknews - https://www.punknews.org/review/16866/dave-hause-kick

"...his brilliant vocals that mix in just the right amount of heartland America with punk rock ethos..."

Rockfreaks.net - http://rockfreaks.net/albums/9094

"On Kick, he deftly weaves together several broad ideas to tell a complete story about why so many of us feel lost in present-day America, and he does so with such passion and energy that I find myself turning to this album more than anything else released this year."
