Kickin' Valentina formed in 2013 and very quickly got noticed in the US and Europe. Their debut EP was released the same year,as well as signing with Mighty Music a Danish record label. They have released four studio albums “Super Atomic”,”Imaginary Creatures”,”Revenge Of Rock” and last years superb “Star Spangled Fist Fight”. This album which again is produced by Andy Reilly (UFO,Bruce Dickinson and Cradle Of Filth) and mastered by Joel Wanasek consists of eight tracks the first three which did not make it onto last years album “Star Spangled Fist Fight”,live tracks from Bang Your Head Festival and demos from the”Revenge Of Rock” recording process.Kickin Valentina are heading back to Europe and the UK again in May after last years successful headline tour and numerous festival appearances.

“Blame It On Rock N' Roll” is just classic Kickin Valentina with those heavy guitar riffs,Chris Taylor's deep dirty bass accompanied with Jimmy Berdine's hard hitting drums and those snarling razor edge vocals from D K Revelle. Its just pure high fuelled,high energy unapologetic rock n' roll.”The Gotaways” is again more of the same a great sing-along catchy anthemic,ear worm chorus,its slick guitar slides & riffs courtesy of Heber Pampillon it is a style and sound the band have perfected to an art.”Wild Ones” is just another superb anthem which just flows a shout out to the rock n' roll rebels out there a song of unity and acceptance. Three great tracks which I'm glad have seen the light of day.”Sweat” , “Easy Rider” and one of my most loved KV tracks “Freakshow” just capture how superb they are live,because take this from me I've seen them several times and they are one of the most high energy octane,rock n roll bands I have ever seen live a forced to be reckoned with.Demos “War” and “End Of the Road” from “Revenge Of Rock” album ,the raw uncut versions capture the process of recording the album.

“Raw Traxs B Sides & Bootlegs” is another strong release from Kickin' Valentina the tracks that didn't make “Star Spangled Fist Fight” are superb tracks which I hope feature in the upcoming set for Mays tour. The live tracks are great recordings which capture what a great live band they are,with the demos having pure raw energy. I personally think that this band are better than some legendary bands who are still around today,even when they were at their peak. These guys are the new breed and the future of rock n' roll. Seriously if you have not seen them live catch them on tour in May!Raw Traxs B Sides & Bootlegs is released on the 2^nd of May through Mighty Music .
