Kickin Valentina’s Raw Trax Serves Up Killer Cuts & Live Heat

KICKIN VALENTINA – Raw Trax, B-Sides, and Bootlegs

Brian Basher
Program Director, WTYU.rocks

Starting the morning off right with Kickin Valentina’s new release, Raw Trax, B-Sides, and Bootlegs.

The record features three studio tracks, three live recordings, and a couple of demos. I’m assuming the studio tracks are leftovers from the band’s last album, Star Spangled Fist Fight, and if that’s the case, I’m struggling to understand how they didn’t make the cut—because all three are excellent.

The live tracks and demos are a cool addition, but let’s be real: the new songs are what I came to hear. And on that front, Raw Trax, B-Sides, and Bootlegs does not disappoint.

Set for worldwide release via Mighty Music on May 2nd, this may not be a full-length album, but it’s more than enough to hold the KV Mob over until the next one. I know I’ll be playing the hell out of it.
