Ten bullets of loud, unapologetic rock&#8217;n&#8217;roll 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 that&#8217;s almost pornographic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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. &#8220;It&#8217;s been way too long since our last album, and we are really excited about &#8220;Star Spangled Fist Fight.&#8221;&#8221;, bassist Chris Taylor states. &#8220;I know every band says this, but I think this is our best album so far. Everything just seemed to click while we were writing it&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kickin Valentina still plays the proverbial loud unapologetic rock&#8217;n&#8217;roll in 2024, as the band enters the second decade of its existence. Except that &#8220;Star Spangled Fist Fight&#8221; is a bit louder and a bit more unapologetic.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/KICKIN-VALENTINA-band.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72761\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/KICKIN-VALENTINA-band.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/KICKIN-VALENTINA-band-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/KICKIN-VALENTINA-band-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/KICKIN-VALENTINA-band-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>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 &#8211; &#8220;Super Atomic,&#8221; &#8220;Imaginary Creatures,&#8221; &#8220;Revenge of Rock&#8221; &#8211; and an EP titled &#8220;Chaos in Copenhagen&#8221; to rave reviews around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their album &#8220;Imaginary Creatures&#8221; 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 &#8220;Crazy&#8221; reached #15 on the Danish iTunes rock charts. &#8220;Revenge of Rock&#8221; debuted at #6 on the Danish vinyl chart, and &#8220;Chaos in Copenhagen&#8221; debuted at #27 on Denmark&#8217;s top 100 album sales chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lineup:<br \/>D.K.
