Product Information

"Kicking & Screaming is my best record yet and I can’t wait for all of you to crank it!", states Sebastian Bach. And that’s quite a challenge if you consider the high calibre of his musical output over the years.

As the lead singer of Skid Row, Sebastian Bach was one of the last true rock stars. His looks, showmanship, charisma and pipes perfectly suited the melange of heaviness and hooks that his band offered. Notwithstanding the change of musical climate which followed, he managed to keep himself very busy and musically relevant, even after his departure from the band.

Far from just being a multi-platinum recording artist, singer / songwriter / actor / entertainer Bach has expanded his career over the past decade to include episodic television with a 5-season recurring role on the CW’s hit series “Gilmore Girls”, starring roles on Broadway (“Jekyll & Hyde”, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”) and national touring companies (“Jesus Chris Superstar”), as well as an ongoing relationship with MTV/VH1.

Bach’s first all original solo album “Angel Down”, released in 2007, presented the artist returning to his roots with a mixture of hooks and catchiness, with the aggressiveness of modern day metal. Guest vocals from the likes of Axl Rose put the icing on the cake on an album that restored the faith of all the “mothertruckers” around the globe.

In early 2011, Bach signed a new worldwide recording contract with the rising star Italian-based label Frontiers Records and headed to the studio under the direction of Bob Marlette (Black Sabbath, Shinedown, Atreyu, Filter). Aptly entitled “Kicking & Screaming,” the new album presents the talents of young virtuosic guitarist Nick Sterling and drum pro Bobby Jarzombek (Halford, Riot, Iced Earth), alongside Bach’s inimitable, incomparable vocals.

The result is a high-energy, hard rock album. “I could not be happier with “Kicking & Screaming”, tells Bach, “the music follows along the lines of 'Skid Row', 'Slave To The Grind', 'Subhuman Race' and 'Angel Down' , but the songs, performances and sound quality are beyond what I could have ever imagined”. The songs are "heavy, interesting, classic sounding, modern sounding, completely rock 'n' roll — just how we like it!".

The "Kicking & Screaming" album cover was created by artist Richard Villa, reflecting the lyrics as well as the brutality of the music. “It's gonna be a rock 'n' roll to the 9th degree album — very cool, trippy and nightmare-ish," concludes Bach.

Then if you like rockin' guitar riffs, high-energy songs and performances, deadly drums of doom, and ear-shattering screams, we got your rock right here!

Rezensionen

Guitar:
„Der ehemalige Skid-Row-Frontmann liefert auf seinem jüngsten Opus genau die Kost, die die Fans der Band immer gerne genossen haben: Hart rockende Songs, bei denen die Melodien nie zu kurz kommen – garniert mit einem sehr charakteristischen Organ. Auch die Gitarrenarbeit von Nick Sterling trägt zum Wohlfühlfaktor bei. Gelungen.“

Rock City News:
„Geboten wird mächtig kräftiger Hardrock, der das eine oder andere Mal „Slave To The Grind“-Zeiten heraufbeschwört, auch wenn Snake nicht mehr die Gitarre bedient. Schöne Platte die gefällt, aber nur wenig bewegt.“

Breakout:
„...die Platte kickt mächtig Arsch. Es ist unglaublich, wie fantastisch dieser Typ singen kann. Das Einzige, was es an Kicking & Screaming auszusetzen gibt ist, dass die Hooklines teilweise nicht richtig zünden, doch insgesamt ist die Scheibe eine verdammt runde Sache geworden.“

,,Mit Kicking & Screaming liefert Sebastian Bach (getreu dem CD-Titel) genau die Musik, die man von ihm erwartet. Der frühere Skid-Row-Sänger, Serien-Schauspieler (spielt den Musiker Gil in “Gilmore Girls”) und Broadway-Musical-Darsteller (“The Rocky Horror Picture Show”, “Jekyll & Hyde”) lässt von Anfang an keinerlei Zweifel aufkommen, wie sich bei ihm Rockmusik anhört: laut, schnell, hart und ohne irgendwelche Kompromisse!"
