Bio:
Rising Atlanta band KICKIN VALENTINA is creating quite a buzz and has already established a rabid fan base. The band was formed in early 2013 by guitarist Heber Pampillion and drummer Jimmy Berdine. After meeting vocalist Joe Edwards (whose distinctive style has been described as a “diamond in the dirt”), they began writing and rehearsing, then recruited Chris Taylor to round out the lineup. In 2013, their debut performance was in July, followed by the release of their self-titled debut EP on Highway 9 Records in October. The band has been busy in 2014 playing live (with many festivals scheduled for the Summer & Fall), and in June they were nominated for – and won – the 2014 Georgia Music Award for “Rock Band of the Year.”With a little bit of sleaze, a little bit of blues, and a whole lot attitude, KICKIN VALENTINA have secured their place in the Southeast and are quickly gaining attention and traction across the US and overseas. The band has already performed with artists as diverse as Buckcherry, Queensryche, Pop Evil, Fozzy, Eve to Adam, Faster Pussycat, Nonpoint, and Cilver, while their first single “Get Ready” is already a fan favorite on radio stations around the world, and one of the top requested songs on Hard Rock Nights and Canada’s Rock X Radio. Both “Get Ready” and the standout track “Alone” will be featured in the upcoming action horror movie Altered from award winning film director Kely McClung (Summer 2014 release).
Album:
Atlanta-based Hard Rock act Kickin Valentina got their start in 2013. They named themselves after a dominatrix that was paid to kick men in the balls. In 2015 Kickin Valentina released their first studio album Super Atomic. They followed-up that release in 2017 with Imaginary Creatures. Kickin Valentina went on to tour and play festivals with the likes of Queenrÿche, Buckcherry, and Skid Row. Recently the group welcomed one-time Jetboy vocalist D.K. Revelle into the fold. January 22, 2021 will see the release of Kickin Valentina’s third studio album The Revenge of Rock. It’s produced by Andy Reilly (UFO, Bruce Dickinson, Cradle of Filth). The Album: “Freak Show” is definitely a live show opener with it simple, yet energetic party vibe. “Somebody New” is the lead song from the album. It’s a little more polished than its predecessor. Basically, it’s made for radio play. Kickin Valentina lay down some great harmonies on the chorus. Smooth guitar riffs and licks command “Rat Race.” D.K. Revelle’s vocals are gritty and intense as he reminds us how much work sucks.Revelle tells us not to follow the pack, but be yourself on “Strange” Guitarist Heber Pampillon delivers another great solo during the break. Revelle looks back on lost love with the mid-tempo rocker “Looking For Me.” “Heart Tattoo” has just enough distortion and edginess to not be a lame ballad. “End of the Road” will have you jumping in a frenzy, pumping your first in the air, and singing along with its infectious chorus.The Verdict:The Revenge of Rock shows us that good ol’ dirty, gritty Blues Rock doesn’t have to be overly complicated. Kickin Valentina keep their music and lyrics simple, relatable, and noteworthy.
