Bio:
Kevin Steele is a prominent American rock vocalist best known as the frontman for the 1980s/90s glam metal band Roxx Gang and later the southern rock-influenced Mojo Gurus. Known for his gritty, bluesy, and melodic style, he released his debut solo album, One Thing Left To Do, in February 2026, featuring a mix of glam, punk, and rock.
Roxx Gang was an American glam-metal band formed in 1982 in St. Petersburg, Florida. Auditions and rehearsals were held at Rockin' Studio 66, a local rehearsal/recording studio owned by area musician, Mike Abdishi.The band garnered record company attention in 1987 with its Love 'Em and Leave 'Em demo. The band recorded its debut album Things You've Never Done Before (1988) on Virgin Records from which it released two singles "No Easy Way Out" and "Scratch My Back" with the lineup now consisting of Steele, Jeff Taylor Blanchard (guitar), Wade Hayes (guitar), Roby "Strychnine" Strine (bass), and David James Blackshire (drums). It was produced by Beau Hill and went on to sell a quarter million copies worldwide.This version of the band broke up in 1991 because of infighting and record company issues. Steele then formed a new version of the band along with Roby Strine, guitarist Dallas Perkins and professional session/touring drummer Andy James from NYC. Years later drummer Tommy Weder and guitarist Stacey Blades replaced James and Perkins. Strine left in 1994 and was replaced by Dorian Sage. The band released the album The Voodoo You Love, its first album since Things You've Never Done Before, and went on to release several more albums in the late 1990s. The band added guitarist Jeff Vitolo and bassist Vinnie Granese replaced Sage. Soon after Roxx Gang created a blues/rock alter-ego The Mojo Gurus. Blades left citing "musical differences" after which evolution into The Mojo Gurus became permanent.In 2006, two of its songs off of the Things You've Never Done Before album, "Ball 'N Chain" and "No Easy Way Out" were featured in the THQ action-adventury video game Saints Row.
Album:
The debut solo album from former ROXX GANG singer Kevin Steele, "One Thing Left To Do", will be released on February 27, 2026, via Steele Records/Amplified Distribution. It will be released digitally, on compact disc and on red vinyl. The LP's lead single "Snake Charmer" is out now on digital services."Snake Charmer", with its sexy, hypnotic groove and killer guitar riffs, explores the age-old dilemma of female wiles versus a man's blind obsession. The second single, "There's A Better Day Comin'", is a soaring rock 'n' roll anthem of hope. Its gospel-like arrangement is meant to convey a feeling of optimism in a world where we could all use some. In the third single, "Sad, Sad Song", Steele delivers a poignant ballad recounting his hardscrabble life and tragic youth.Steele said: "This is the record I've always wanted to make. It's my first solo record. No compromises. I answered to no one but myself."All of these songs showcase Kevin's masterful songwriting across all the musical styles that have shaped his colorful career, including glam, punk, rock, blues, and even southern gospel.Kevin's band ROXX GANG was one of America's great acts and the first rock band signed to Virgin Records in America. Their debut record, the classic "Things You've Never Done Before", sold over 250,000 copies. In a way, they were the bridge between glam and grunge. Kevin's post-ROXX GANG band THE MOJO GURUS played a vital role in keeping rock and roll alive in the early 2000s, working with legendary producers Jack Douglas (John Lennon, AEROSMITH, NEW YORK DOLLS) and Tommy Henriksen (Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES). With "One Thing Left To Do", Steele brings his musical journey full circle with a truly remarkable record that you just have to hear.Joining Kevin on this new record is guitar phenom/co-producer Billy Summer (Florida, LUXURY MANE, THE NEW BRUTARIANS) whose music has been heard on major TV shows and films such as "Ted Lasso", "The Affair", "Harpoon", "Life And Beth", "Chicago Fire", "Property Brothers" and many others. The result is one hot slab of rock and roll revelry covering several genres that showcase a track list of impressive playing and songwriting.Kevin said: "Billy and I made such a great team. Instant connection of the minds. He knew instinctively where I was going musically with each song before I would even tell him. That's why they call us the Cosmic Twins."On Friday, February 27, Steele will celebrate the release of his new record at Bayboro Brewing Company. Kevin will perform the new record in its entirety, backed by an all-star band of Tampa Bay musicians featuring guitarist Billy Summer."One Thing Left To Do" was recorded at The Ward in St. Petersburg, Florida and was produced by the Cosmic Twins (Billy Summer and Kevin Steele). It was engineered by Billy Summer and mastered by Brian Merrill at Studio B in St. Petersburg, Florida. The cover art was created by Adam Turkel.
