THE BAND'S STORY & SONG
More than a cover band, The KICKBACK Band is a musical experience. Playing for more than 17 years, the band offers a fantastic mix of professionalism and talent. Trading vocals and styles, they move from one genre to another, recreating hits of today and classics from decades past flawlessly. It is almost as if the songs were meant for the band.
The KICKBACK Band was formed by former Shadow Road bassist / Keyboardist Joe Haley in January of 2006. Since that time, the band has gone through quite a few member changes. The 3 original members, lead guitarist Joel "The Doctor" Fischer, original drummer Ron Haley and member Keyboardist Joe Haley decided to start adding some key musicians that best fit the band.
In 2014 original drummer Ron Haley decided to leave to pursue other musical interest and the band had a few drummers since but currently holding the rhythm section together is veteran drummer Paul Francis Bergen since 2025.
In 2020, during the height of the Pandemic, guitarist Joel " The Doctor" Fischer left the band to pursue other interest. That's when KICKBACK decided to make some sweeping changes, first was deciding to go forward as a 5 piece band and after extensive auditons brought in veteran lead guitarist Bill Doyle to take over the lead guitar reins. With Bill's versatility, the band was able to keep to it's song catolog and add songs no other bands could cover. Then in 2025 the band wanted to go back to it's roots and play more classic rock so they found lead singer Frankie Stromberg to front the band. With Frankie's powerful vocals and extensive musical back ground, he will be taking KICKBACK, back to it's roots.
Then last but not least in late 2025 and only after many auditions, the band was happy to bring in bassist Dominick DiPalma. With Dominick's past resume Dominick will bring KICKBACK that dynamic rhythm section the band has been seaching for. With all these new musicians and Joe still at the core, KICKBACK is a band to be reckoned with!
