Album of the Year goes to kix
Rock Your Face Off is the seventh studio album by the American rock band Kix. It is Kix's first studio release since their 1995 album Show Business. It is Kix's first studio release with bassist Mark Schenker.
The band inked a deal with Loud and Proud Records and began working on material written by all members of the band for the first time in the quintet’s history. The result is Rock Your Face Off, a collection of addictive, hard rocking, party and roll songs that embrace everything that is Kix.
In Baltimore, Maryland, Kix is rock and roll royalty, but outside of the band’s regional territory the mention of the group name is likely to be followed by the statements, “Oh yeah, I remember those guys,” or “Aren’t they the one’s that did that one song?” Kix is one of the greatest little rock bands that far too few people know, but most seem to enjoy once they discover them. This summer the quintet returns with its first album of new material in 19 years, and fans are chomping at the bit to get their ears on the record dubbed, Rock Your Face Off. The debut single, “Love Me with Your Top Down” is already turning heads and shaking derrieres.
A lot has changed since the heyday of metal. But it is good to see that Kix has stuck to their signature style in your face AC/DC sound. Rock Your Face off picks off where the band left off. Opening with “Wheels In Motion” the razor sharp guitar playing of Brian Forsythe dominates this album. “You’re Gone” continues with the hard-hitting AC/DC riffs. Singer Steve Whiteman is a powerhouse on vocals.
Kix who rule the Maryland and East Coast community continue with their sexy persona on “Rollin In Honey.” This song is very tongue in cheek and captures the party vibe of the band. Title track “Rock Your Face Off” explodes with the high energy that band is noted for in concert. This song is a tribute to touring and the audiences that support the band year after year.
The rhythm section of bassist Mark Schenker and drummer Jimmy Chalfant is very tight and holds the band together with its ferocious beat. Kix who are also known for they’re bluesy influence shine with a Black Crows vibe on “All The Right Things.”
Kix also experiment with a ballad on the song “Inside Outside Inn.” The single “Love Me With Your Top Down” is an ode to summer and a party anthem. The album ends on a high note with “Rock And Roll Showdown.”
