Album of the Day

Rising through the clubs of Baltimore, Kix parlayed their reputation as one of the city's top glam metal outfits into a contract with Atlantic Records. The quintet's third collection for the label, BLOW MY FUSE, finally put them in the big leagues; the set went Platinum on the strength of such electrifying tracks as the AC/DC-esque “Cold Blood” and "Don't Close Your Eyes," an anti-suicide power ballad that nearly went Top 10. With original songs (largely the work of bassist/keyboardist Donnie Purnell) that are a cut above typical Headbanger's Ball fare, the 1988 album rocks from start to finish. Surely this underrated band's moment of glory, BLOW MY FUSE is the ideal way to get your Kix.
