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

     The mid 80's was an extremely healthy time for hard rock and
     heavy metal. It was also a prime era for Canadian acts, which
     seemed to be appearing at an alarming rate and all with one
     thing in common; they were consistently accomplished and
     uniquely skilful. Several of them were going global, such as
     Rush, Triumph and April Wine, but it was at a grass roots
     level that the real impact was being felt, with Kick Axe being
     at the sharp end of this new wave of maple leaf metal.

     Following on the heels of their debut album, Kick Axe got
     right back in the saddle with a well crafted follow up;
     'Welcome To The Club', produced, once again, by Spencer
     Proffer (Quiet Riot, King Kobra, W.A.S.P.) and his, for this
     record, assistant Randy Bishop. It was a far more mature
     recording, exuding a new level of sophistication by bringing
     in to play the sort of sound being pioneered by artists such
     as Queensryche and Dio. They didn't, however, take their eyes
     off the prize, keeping brute force to the fore and all hands
     on the steering wheel.

     Issued in 1985, the record received, quite rightly, solid
     critical praise as it contains a brace of killer tracks,
     including 'Feel The Power', 'Hellraisers', 'Make Your Move'
     and a surprising cover version of the Beatles' 'With A Little
     Help from My Friends' that features several prominent Canadian
     musicians, including members of Triumph, Coney Hatch ,
     Toronto, Sheriff, and Lee Aaron.
