Kickhunter – All In

Releasedate: 27-07-2010; Label: AFM Records
By: Nina Mende

Looking for something to sink your teeth in? Take a steamin, Hammond, a pulsating bass guitar, firy screaming Wah wah attacks, pounding drums, crunchy guitar and add a voice that has “Rockn`n`Roll” in its very breath….. A cocktail of passion, power and sheer energy ranging from mid-paced groovers to up-tempo rockers served by men who know their business… At the end of the year 2000 the time had come, six Rock ́n ́Roll junkies from Hamburg entered the rehearsal bunker and ignited te spark…
Kickhunter was born! !All In” is their third album.

The music is somewhere between sleaze rock and typical American rock’n’roll as well as country. You can hear several guitar solos on the album. Some songs on it are covers like for example “Call Me”. “All In” sounds a lot like saloon music you know from the western movies. “Another Tear” includes an organ playing. On some songs throughout the later part of the album you can also hear a female singing. All eleven tracks on “All In” are very catchy and easy to sing along. “All In” is great music for an evening in the bar. Have fun with the new album of Kickhunter.
