- -- Release notes ---------------------------------------------------- -- -

     Canadian rock has always been highly regarded amongst
     discerning heavy metal fans. In general, the quality of the
     craftsmanship, songwriting and playing is, in many respects,
     superior to any other country in the world, lending the acts
     an air of confidence and accomplishment that has always
     impressed. Kick Axe were, it must be said, one of the best
     Canadian hard rock acts that emerged during the early
     eighties, rubbing shoulders with other hot contenders such as
     Helix, Coney Hatch and Anvil to name but a few.

     The Saskatchewan based five piece were initially formed by two
     brothers, that's Larry and Brian Gillstrom, together with
     bassist Victor Langen, all spurred on by the onslaught of
     British metal acts such as Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. Their
     intention was to craft a unit that embraced all the cut and
     thrust of the original genre, while injecting their sound with
     a melodic and contemporary edge. Signing to CBS Records in
     Canada the band was then, surprisingly, taken under the wing
     of Pasha Records in the USA, home of multiplatinum sellers
     Quiet Riot.

     Produced by Spencer Proffer (Quiet Riot, King Kobra, W.A.S.P.)
     and originally issued in 1984, the album contains a sterling
     selection of tracks that place the band center stage in the
     burgeoning mid 80s hard rock renaissance, and give vocalist
     George Criston room to impress at every turn. As a prime
     example of 24 Karat Canadian rock, 'Vices' takes no prisoners
     and lays down the law with focussed intent.
