Bio:
Traxter Is A Christain Metal Band From The 80's & 90's. Members are: Darrin Lee Kirkindoll: (D.K) Drums Bobby Del Rey: Bass Guitar and B.G.V. Leonard Bennett: Front and back Axe work, B.G.V. Terrence Steven Fischer: Front and back Axe work, all around lead box and B.G.V. A Traxter is a brand of ATV. And a band, it seems. Upon first look at this CD, visions of cheeseballs danced in my head. The cartoonish artwork, the late hair-metal look of the band, the independent label. . .heck, just the title “Rock N’ Race” almost doomed this CD to the Hardly Ever Listen To section of my personal collection. But, everything’s worth at least one listen, so I gave it a shot. Rather glad I did, really.This is what most would classify as “hair metal”, although that label has been used in utter contempt from those who don’t really know better. Yes, this release does fall in that category, although it’s hardly second rate playing here. The first track, “Holy Rockin'”, once you get past the title, reminded me of early L.A. Guns. Upon the second track, “Mr. Love”, that comparison melted away to more of a classic Dokken sound, reminiscent of the ‘Back For The Attack’ days. Wow. The guitars are great, the vocals just raw enough (okay, possibly the vocalist for Kix filling in with Dokken. . .that’s closer to the sound), the production really good for an independent release. . .and the lyrics? The same blatant style of probably Fear Not or early nineties Guardian. Take, for instance, “Honest Report”:
I know a love seeks out the souls of men
This kind of love there seems to be no end
Sacrificing a dear one on a cross
And I’m hungry for love, Jesus kind of love
Love around the world
Sure, there are shots at regular every day hurdles, like drugs (“J.S.N.”) and alienation (“Mr. Love”, “Come To Open Arms”, “Turn And Face”), but mostly this falls under the classic Blatant Christian Metal title. . .it’s worth a listen, if you’re into the heavy metal of past yore. . .
Album:
Roxx Records is very excited to announce the release details of another classic Christian Metal title that had been eluding us for years! We are extremely excited to be bringing you another cool reissue of an album that was originally released in 1991 and is impossible to find today. Hailing from Bakersfield, California we welcome the band TRAXTER to the Roxx Records line up! Their one and only album "Rock n' Race" was a classic in the Christian Metal underground and has been nearly impossible to find, well its time we fix that and bring this one back out to the public.When working with the band on bonus tracks for this one we also learned sadly the band had never recorded any other tracks outside of "Rock n' Race" BUT they did manage to play a new song live that was never properly recorded and we are excited to include that as a bonus track here for all to hear. The track is called "Lovin' Star" and was intended for the next TRAXTER release that never came to be, but luckily we found a decent live recording of this previously unreleased track and have added it here to complete this TRAXTER collection.TRAXTER "Rock n' Race: The Finish Line" all tracks have been remastered by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound and updated cover art, design and layout are courtesy of Scott Waters of No Life Til Metal Graphics. This will be a one-time special pressing of only 500 copies.
