'Kickin Valentina' is an American rock band who already have two studio recordings to their credit ('Super Atomic' in 2015 and 'Imaginry Creatures' in 2017) and which has just released a new album 'The Revenge Of Rock'. They send us direct and effective rock without frills by going straight to the point by offering us 9 compositions filled with good guitar riffs and catchy melodies. From the outset, with 'Freakshow', we are immersed in an overheated atmosphere with a powerful first track, the voice of 'D.K. Revelle' raspy and muscular being completely in tune with this direct style, then, 'Somebody New' plays to an unstoppable melody which makes it one of the first hits of the album and 'Rat Race' puts a new layer with a fast rhythm that carries everything in its path. The suite continues in this fiery atmosphere with twists like the energetic 'War' or 'End OF The Road' tagged southern rock but some titles are a little quieter and 'Heart Tattoo' and 'Strange' bring a little ventilation overall, the album ending with the title song of the album 'The Revenge of Rock' which concludes with a new intense and supercharged composition that sends us heavy with chanted choirs. In short, this latest baby from the Americans of 'Kickin Valentina' is a stick of dynamite containing tubes all as effective as each other that should appeal to an audience loving hard groups who swing explosive hits filled with unstoppable energy very close to the concert atmosphere... | |
