Child's Play............by far. The first band that came to mind when reading this title.
These guys were local rock heroes when I was a kid. There album Rat Race is killer and I recommend checking it out. It still holds true to this day. They even brought it at recent shows.
Is it just me or does that guy have serious Steve Whiteman of Kix thing going on? I LOVED Kix!!!!! I think that they should have been bigger... I remember seeing them at HammerJacks WAY back in the day and they flat out blew me away and this was before they went national..
I do think there are similarities with Whiteman, after all, they both came from the Baltimore rock scene of the early 80's. They have that "Baltimore" color to there voices. I think you can consider Kix though as actually making it. I mean, when I pulled up into the driveway tonight Kix was on XM's Hair Nation for at least the 3rd time today. Kix was an awesome straightforward no bullshit rock band. Very classic/timeless sounding.
Right on, I had a bunch of friends in the Balitmore/Dc Area and it was always a blast when I came down. Come to think of it, Im pretty sure that I caught Childs play on several occasions and dug them. Truth is that I dont remember ever seeing a bad show from anyone at HJ's when we went there, that club kicked ass!!
As for your comments on Kix, couldnt agree more; Straightforward, no BS, Kickass attitude with the highest energy shows that you could imagine... Aside from whiteman, they were a sum of their parts and just brought it...
