Kix

Out of print in the U.S.! This impressive debut finds it's one of a kind sound fully realised. Some songs influenced by bands such as the Cars and 'Contrary Mary' with a guitar riff that sounds like the main lick from 'Day Tripper' turned inside out. Other standout tracks include the cowbell-driven hormonal anthem 'Love at First Sight' and 'The Kid' an anti-brat revenge fantasy reminiscent of 'Beat on the Brat' by the Ramones. 'Yeah, Yeah, Yeah' became the band's most popular concert song, always with a unique ad-lib performance by lead vocalist Steve Whiteman. With this album, the tongue-in-cheek rock and roll style of Kix was established.
