Away Team have issued a new interview conducted with Kix bassit Mark Schenker. An excerpt from the chat follows:

Q: Let’s talk about the new record - it’s called Rock Your Face Off, and it’s a smoker, man!

A: “Thanks, man. We’re pretty proud of it. I think it will be exactly what the fans are looking for. I mean, it’s got Ronnie and Brian’s fantastic guitar solos all over the place, Jimmy Chocolate, my favorite drummer in the world, just slingin’ lumber and then Steve’s voice; it still sounds amazing. The guy is a force of nature.”

 

 

Q: Yeah, he’s ‘okay’! (laughter all around) Seriously though, I remember you telling me a while back that the album was in the can last year. Why is it being released like, almost a year later?”

A: “We had some legal loose-ends to tie up. The release date was set for exactly three months from the time we signed the deal with our label (Loud & Proud Records), and we couldn’t legally do that until we were out of our old deal, so it took a ridiculous amount of behind the scenes work to get everything taken care of. We actually finished recording it all back in, like the end of October of last year.”

On August 5th, Kix will release their seventh album, Rock Your Face Off, via Loud & Proud Records.
