Kix/Testarossa – Charlotte NC, Amos’ Southend – 2 April 2022

Posted by | Apr 19, 2022 | ,

Over the course of rock and roll history, a lot of great songs have been written with a reference to blood. The Rolling Stones told us “You can bleed all over me” while Foreigner had us all ‘Hot Blooded’ at least once or twice in our lives. Thrash masters Slayer had it ‘Raining Blood’ and ‘If You Want Blood…’ well, AC/DC got it. But on this particular Saturday evening in Charlotte, the only blood Kris E was bleeding was most definitely cold because the one and only Kix were in town bringing their explosive rock show to a capacity crowd at Amos’ Southend. Kris has had ‘The Itch’ for Kix ever since their self-titled 1981 debut and was beyond excited for what she knew would be a fantastic show.

Regular readers of Über Rock, and even not-so regular (have you not been taking your bran?) interlopers, will know that our very ethos is about supporting underground music, championing the underdogs that the mainstream deem to be beneath their obnoxiously upward pointing noses and bringing to light the best new talent that this diverse, nefarious Überverse has to offer. So, when an album comes along from a label that openly declares that it is equally proud to champion the underground, and does so through a series of free-to-download compilation albums, then of course we’re going to check in at that particular motel and let the bar-room vibes flow over us…

Audrey Horne is a band that Jonny B discovered through a slightly unusual route… It was purely because Johan Hegg starred in their video for ‘Out Of The City’ alongside his wife Maria. But while JB may have come for the Hegg, he stayed for the tunes as he ended up completely hooked on it to the point that it still gets played regularly now, nearly 10 years later! That moment led our man down a bit of a rabbit hole where he started to uncover more Audrey Horne gems as he got sucked into their brand of catchy classic rock influenced rock. So naturally when he caught wind of a new release from these Norwegian rockers, he jumped at the chance to get an early listen!

Welcome to the latest edition of the Über Rock Singles Club. We have managed to keep the Club up-and-running despite the numerous Covidications which we all have had to endure over the past 24 months, in order to bring you the hottest new sounds around. And once again we have another hitlist of superb sonic experiences to tickle your sonic senses, with a selection of my favourite tunes to have found their way on to the ÜRHQ deathdecks over the past couple of weeks… Bearing in mind that, despite the new rock ‘n’ roll year still being slightly less than a month old, we received more than 400 submissions, it was not an easy task to whittle them down to this all-too-short playlist of just a handful musical gems…
