The latest installment of Totally Driven Radio, the weekly radio podcast heard live every Thursday night from 8:00pm – 11:00pm EST on the Totally Driven Entertainment Radio Network, features Kix frontman Steve Whiteman talking about the band's comeback, Rock Your Face Off. Check out the interview below:

Classic Rock Revisited founder Jeb Wright recently caught up with Kix frontman Steve Whiteman to discuss the new album. An excerpt is available below:

Jeb: You guys came along in the game when record companies were starting that ‘cookie-cutter band’ mentality.  If a certain band sold well, then all the new bands had to look and sound like that band.  You were not that way.  You were not a hair band.  You had your own sound.

Steve: "We hated the fact that we got lumped in with that hair metal shit; that was definitely not us.  We were around way before that crap ever got popular.  Unfortunately, with the age of MTV, we all got played together and we got lumped into that shit."                        

Jeb: You used the word liberating, and that is the perfect word, as all the fighting in KIX before must have made things very difficult.  It must have been a great feeling to be free from that.

Steve: "It was a great feeling and ‘liberating’ really is a great word to describe it.  It took us a while to think that we could actually get together and write and record a KIX album without Donnie being involved.  It was a little daunting at first.  When we got in the room with Taylor, then we started to come up with ideas, and he came up with ideas, and we started putting this together, and we started making it sound like KIX, and it started to get really good..."

Jeb: Was there a light bulb moment where you realized that you could really do this?

Steve: "There was one with a song that I brought in called 'Dirty Girls'.  That song got a huge facelift from everyone else. Everyone contributed and made it better.  Mark brought in some songs that he had worked on with Taylor.  'Can't Stop The Show' and 'Top Down' came in at the end of the record; they were not on the list of songs we were going to record, but when they came in with them we wanted to record them. Everything fell into place, and while it was a lot of work, it really was kind of easy."
