KIX were a five piece heavy metal hard rockin’ band whose musical career broke wide open in the late 80’s with their fourth Atlantic Records smash album Blow My Fuse. Hailing from Hagerstown, MD, lead vocalist Steve Whiteman along with Donnie Purnell (bass), Bryan Forsythe (guitars), Jimmy Chalfant (drums) and Ronnie Younkins (guitars) played together for almost a decade before hitting the top of the rock and pop charts across the globe.

Building on the Top Ten success of Blow My Fuse , Kix went back to the studio and delivered another smash with Hot Wire Fueled by the rock radio success of Girl Money , Hot Wire became an album of choice for rock radio stations everywhere.

As the first rock group signed to Atlantic s new East West America Records imprint, more hard rocking like Same Jane , Bump The La La , and the massive title track Hot Wire took this band to new heights and is still considered today to be one of the most revered albums in their catalog and the hard rock genre.

Hot Wire was originally released only on CD throughout the world, except for a very rare German pressing that goes for hundreds of dollars or more these days……that is until now!

Friday Music is very pleased to announce for the very first time officially on vinyl, the 1991 hard rock classic Hot Wire by Kix. To celebrate 3 Decades of this masterwork, we are pressing this for a very limited time on Solar Flare Hand Poured Effect Vinyl. This unique pressing means that each copy will have it s own variant, not one will be like the other, making this a highly collectible for any hard rock music fan.

Mastered impeccably by Joe Reagoso (Kix Skid Row Winger) from the original East West America tapes, we will also be featuring the classic artwork now in a Lp sized presentation.

To further enhance you Kix experience, we will also be including the super rare inner sleeve art featuring lyrics and a photo of the band. ROCK ON!!!!!
