Heavy Metal Kids - Hit The Right Button - Import CD

Description:

Sorely overlooked at the time of its original release, beyond a smattering of semi-nostalgic coverage in the U.K. press, the Heavy Metal Kids' fourth album -- and their first in almost 30 years -- was a rambunctious beast, overflowing with the kind of hooks that the original band prized so highly, but exploding, too, with little reminders of just how much future generations would borrow from them. True, the longtime fan mourns the absence of the late Gary Holton, whose distinctive tones raised the Kids so high, but founding member Danny Peyronel fills his boots well, both on the studio cuts and the four bonus live tracks appended to Angel Air's 2010 reissue. "Chelsea Kids '70s heyday with an exuberance and savagery that take the listener back as well, to the seething clubs that the Kids once ruled, and the conviction that this band was marked out for glory. They never grasped it, sadly, but their 21st century revival will not disappoint regardless. ~ Dave Thompson|
