Yup. Bought it for this song but was disappointed overall.

Way to flood the whole board! Every new post is this thread.

Sounds great. This looks to be a good release!

Yes it is.... pretty terrible. Geoff??

Not feeling it. I just don't like Cathey's voice anymore. Sounds like The Fifth. :

To each his own. Don't like that at all.

from interwebz Lincolnshire, UK rockers KNOCK OUT KAINE are back this 2020 after a four year hiatus and some line up changes (now a 5 piece). Their new album ‘Living Breathing Monster‘ is being released today January 1st. Still fronted by charismatic Dean Foxx, KNOCK OUT KAINE continues perfecting their brand of 80s L.A. influenced sleazy hard rock, and I can see why the band was chosen to support Adler’s Appetite extensive European tour some time ago: KOK’s sound is very reminiscent of Guns N’ Roses and related. With ‘Living Breathing Monster’ KNOCK OUT KAINE are out to prove themselves after taking a few months off to reboot. Bass player Paul Crouch and additional six stringer Tom Robinson complete the new look, with existing members, Danny Krash on drums and Jimmy Bohemian also on guitar. I have to say that the performance of this refreshed crew, only after the first song ‘Nothing Ever Changes’, is pretty impressive. Strong and moody, they continue with the excellent rocking title track with that Sunset Strip 1987 feel. Is that groovy rocker ‘Mine All Mine’ penned by Axl Rose? Or perhaps Bret Michaels circa 1988? It’s a great catchy tune with a guitar sound straight from the Slash set-up. ‘Burn the Witch’ is all about the ’80s, and I find a little of Crazy Lixx on it, the the slow (not a ballad) ‘Into the Fire’ is very interesting both in music & lyrics. ‘Personal Hell’ shows a different side of KOK, a bluesy rocker with pianos and a classic rock smell, but soon after ‘She’s Kinda Like’ rocks again (complete with cowbell) ready to be played at a sweaty packed venue. ‘Terminally Vain’ is the ballad on the album, yet not your typically power ballad. It’s emotional. ‘Oxygen Thief’ does what promises in its title, a hot hard rocker with blasting guitars and lots of gang vocals. Despite titled ‘Stoopid Iz Az Stoopid Duz’, this closing number isn’t that sleazy but an intense bluesy hard rocker, plenty of solos. Dean Foxx said that KNOCK OUT KAINE wouldn’t be silent for long, so it’s great to see them back with a stronger line up and a solid, entertaining new album. ‘Living Breathing Monster’ takes you back to the sleazy hard rock golden days, so if you like this style, in the hands of KOK resulting like mix of ’87 Guns N’ Roses and Poison, then this album is for you.

How many release from 2019 will you reach for ten years from now??

One of the worst years in memory if you ask me.

LMAO @ Cats In Space even being in any Best Of discussion. WTF Glen!

Yup.... as we know the diehards remember these bands.

Another in my series of forgotten albums. This band was not a blind purchase having read about them a lot in Metal Edge around this time. On the heels of the excellent Trixter release, MCA/Mechanic was releasing some great stuff. So here we have a perfect slice of AOR/hard rock. Musically, vocally, just a classic all the way around. Here's some of my favorites:

Average stuff.

Diving For Pearls is another at initial look at the album cover, wasn't sure what to expect. But it was beyond awesome!

Erik > Kenny

Not a chance.

Yeah, X-Sinner is an acquired taste. LOL

Yeah, Come Clean is very memorable and sing-a-long-able.

Sounds awesome and I agree about it sounding like ATN Part 2.
