Kix : Blow My Fuse , 1988, Atlantic Records

MY RATING: 8 out of 10 (an outstanding release and solid purchase!)

This album, just like the band itself, is probably one of the most overlooked from the '80s decade, and that is truly a shame! I have always considered Kix a great band, with a sound akin to AC/DC, and this album proves they deserve a place when mentioning truly great rock as this one is chock full of stellar tunes! It has the perfect mix of raunchy rock 'n roll with a little bluesy feel and plenty of energy, just how I like it!
With their biggest hit "Don't Close Your Eyes" on this album, many people became fans and even critics began to give this quintet their just due. While many may have only heard that power ballad from this album, I assure you that is not the best track on the album, for tracks like "Get It While It's Hot", "Red Lite, Green Lite…

Glam metal (also known as pop metal, hair metal) is a term used to describe the visual style of certain heavy metal music bands that arose in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the United States. It was popular throughout the 1980s and briefly in the early 1990s, combining the flamboyant look of glam rock and playing a power-chord based hard rock musical style.

#10 MGMT at The Mod Club, Toronto
(event link)
It was okay. I really just wanted to mention I was there.

#9 Does It Offend You, Yeah? featuring Beast at The Drake, Toronto
(event link)
Prrrrrretty awesome stuff. Too sophisticated an opener, but also awesome. Should have had something to drink.

#8 Midnight Juggernauts at The Mod Club, Toronto
(event link)
A consummation and a delight. Fueled by chocolate and followed by gelato. So so happy they played "Tombstone."

#7 Ace Frehley at the Guvernment, Toronto
(event link)
My favourite member of Kiss at my favourite venue. Set list was basically all the songs you'd never hear at a Kiss concert, but that's awesome. Left deaf in one ear.

#6 Journey featuring Cheap Trick and Heart at the New York State Fair, Syracuse
(event link)
Cheap Trick are so cute, Heart are full of passion, and Journey are full of fire. Weird mix of bands, but an absolutely stirring experience.
