New KIX Song, 'Top Down'

KIX recently posted a couple new songs online. "Top Down" is the first track posted below. The song will be on the band's forthcoming CD. I guess the guys wanted to try it out, so they performed it live very recently.

"Top Down" is posted below and I'd like your opinion. Personally, I like the song a lot.

Here's "Can't Stop the Show." This one sounds darker than your average KIX tune, but good nonetheless. I mean, how can it not be good?! It's KIX!

I went to this show.. it was in Brunswick, MD.. and it actually wasn't a benefit show. KIX opened the show with a new tune.. "Can't Stop The Show" which was a really good tune also.

This particular song, Luvin' With The Top Down", was a typical KIX tune. A good summertime party anthem.. I didn't see it as "dark" in any way. I thought it was a quite uplifting tune. I was actually singing this song for 3 days in a row after this show.

I really love the song, but I don't feel a dark vibe to it at all. I see it as more of a fun time song. Anyways I like it.

Sounds cool & decidedly like KIX.
I dig it. I'll see 'em New Years Eve.

I thnk can't stop the show is a darker song (well dark for Kix). I think that is what Allyson was probably referring too. I really like it though and also like this one as well. Can't wait for the CD to come out obviously. Here is a link to Can't Stop the Show:

I also saw them play both songs in MD last weekend. They both sound like classic Kix tunes. Catchy, soulful, and a lot of fun.
Plus, they played Rock N Roll Overdose for the first time since I've been going to see them. Everytime I see them, they seem to be better, sharper, and well rehearsed.

This band is awesome! I can't wait to hear the whole album and see them again on the Monsters of Rock Cruise.

[Allyson]

Yeah, Todd (KIXRULES) is right. Half my post got cut off, so I'm fixing it. I've been trying to learn to update via an iPad, with varying results. Alas.

Also - I thought this was the annual firefighters benefit? I wasn't there, so I'll take your word for it Rock-It. I just know the guys generally do a firefighter benefit are the holiday season.

Kix is such a great, underrated hard rock band. Theyre also a great live band, the only problem is that they never leave Maryland. Which sucks. When was the last time they even did a real, full blown tour? I'm thinking Show Business days.

[GNR]

Watch the crowd vs. the post below with the Used cover of Under Pressure. Boy... such a difference in energy :) (cough, cough)

Kix absolutely rocks btw.

Gary: kix is playing penns peak on 12/31. I'm still on the fence. I've become quasi-friendly with the beer distributor cashier who loves glam metal. He is/was pissed at missing cinderella at pp last go 'round because he didn't have anyone to go with. I offered to take him to kix, but he embarrassingly (?) admitted that he doesn't have the cash. Let's all be thankful for what we have and I'm trying to execute a way to get him there...I think it has much more to do than simply money. Wish me luck.

[Christian]

I LOVE this band. Can't wait to hear new music from them.

[Ace Steele]

Fletch, 12-31-2013, Kix is playing the Whiskey A Go Go in W.Hollywood, CA. Just sayin'.

[fletch]

My bad...penns peak on 1/31. my agenda above remains...

[Metalboy!]

I've seen 'em 35+ times and this ROXX!!! Finally something Christian and I can agree on! Phew! Looks like I'm send in' your Xmas Present after all, albeit a little late. When ya back in the states?

This on is good but "Lovin' with The Top Down", their other new one is even better, like Rock-It said! Thanks for the tip, Bro! I went to YouTube last night after I read the comments but couldn't get my post to go through!

Honestly, I thought I was done with these guys (35+X!), but after hearing these new ones, I will have no prob checkin' 'em out live again on The Monsters of Rock Cruise in March. Hell, according to Whiteman in his banter from this show, the album might b out by then!

And to think they wrote all this stuff without Purnell!

[Metalboy!]

Plus, forgot to mention, my ex-lead guitarist is goin' to their annual KIXmas show up in Baltimore. Wish I could be there!

[Rock-It]

Metalboy!.. I'll be hitting the Baltimore show also. Always a great time...

Also.. I'll be announcing my "M-Pre party" line up within the next couple days...

Hope you can make it...

Yeah Fletch,I saw that! They're also in Lancaster tonight I believe. Hoping to go see 'em yet again, if I can talk the little lady into it. We Just saw Trans Siberian Orchestra last week, and are going again tonight in Philly. Lol. These guys don't know the meaning of "Bad Show" or "Going Through The Motions". Never fail to deliver the goods. And the song Top Down sounds like it was pulled right out of 1988. I personally like the vibe that Can't Stop The a Show gives off. Reminds me of a "Night Songs"kind of groove....

[Metalboy!]

Hey, Gare, all nut jobs aside, dunno about "Nightsongs"'but where the hell did these dudes get "Can't Stop" and "Top Down"?

Did they actually write this stuff themselves or did they get outside help?

The future remains to be seen.

Or did John Palumbo, of Crack The Sky and "Blow My Fuse" fame come in to save the day? Kudos if it's all them!
