KICKIN VALENTINA to release new album in April
24th January 2024 0 By Jon DeauxIn April 2024, the world will be a bit less shitty, as KICKIN VALENTINA will release their fourth full-length album titled âStar Spangled Fist Fightâ. Ten bullets of loud, unapologetic rockânâroll are fired aiming the hearts and jugulars of all hard rock fans with a sleaze rock fallout. And, with an almost cynical precision, the four guys in Kickin Valentina, knock each and every one of us with catchy choruses, indecently strong riffs and a sexy rhythm groove thatâs almost pornographic.Â
Once again, the album was produced by Andy Reilly (UFO, Bruce Dickinson, Cradle of Filth) at Muse Productions in Atlanta, and mastered by Joel Wanasek. âItâs been way too long since our last album, and we are really excited about âStar Spangled Fist Fight.ââ, bassist Chris Taylor states. âI know every band says this, but I think this is our best album so far. Everything just seemed to click while we were writing itâ.Â
Kickin Valentina still plays the proverbial loud unapologetic rockânâroll in 2024, as the band enters the second decade of its existence. Except that âStar Spangled Fist Fightâ is a bit louder and a bit more unapologetic.Â
âStar Spangled Fist Fightâ will be released on LP (black vinyl, limited to 500 copies), digipack CD and digital formats via Mighty Music on April 19th, 2024. Pre-orders are available here.
The first single off the album, titled “Takin A Ride”, will be released on Friday this week. It can be pre-saved here.
Formed in 2013, the Americans quickly gained attention in the U.S. and abroad. They were immediately picked up by Atlanta-based indie label Highway 9 Records and released their debut self-titled EP in October 2013. In August 2015 Kickin Valentina signed with Danish hard rock/metal label Mighty Music, and has released since then three successful full-length albums – âSuper Atomic,â âImaginary Creatures,â âRevenge of Rockâ – and an EP titled âChaos in Copenhagenâ to rave reviews around the world.Â
Their album âImaginary Creaturesâ debuted on 5 different Billboard charts (Heatseeker Albums #16, Heatseekers South Atlantic #5, Independent Albums #30, Hard Rock Album Sales #11, and Rock Album Sales #42), and the single âCrazyâ reached #15 on the Danish iTunes rock charts. âRevenge of Rockâ debuted at #6 on the Danish vinyl chart, and âChaos in Copenhagenâ debuted at #27 on Denmarkâs top 100 album sales chart.Â
