Bad Touch Kiss The Sky album review - Music | MarkMeets | Celebrity News, Music, Movies, TV, London Film Premieres

“Kiss The Sky” is a no-nonsense rock and roll album at heart. For their fourth album, Bad Touch have stripped everything right back and looked at what the essence of what makes a great album and at the core, great songs. They’ve stuck to what they do best, which is writing catchy, feel good rock music.

The songs were initially written in their practice studio “The Cabin” in Norfolk where the band feels most comfortable and can focus on the songs without outside world interference. The band have really nailed their sound on this album. When you turn it on you will instantly know it’s Bad Touch,

We’ve been enjoying Bad Touch for a couple of years, watching them grow from a hairy & lairy rabble into a solid, tight and powerful rock band in the classic manner.
They ain’t any kind of retro copyists, this is genuine rock and roll and it could have been made at anytime during the classic era of the 70’s or 80’s.

For those who are old enough to have heard Classic Rock the first time through, this will trigger so many good memories that they will be bouncing off the walls -I see a rush to A&E with dislocated hips and ‘headbangers neck’. This album should come with a public health warning!

Bad Touch’s highly anticipated fourth studio album “Kiss The Sky” was recorded, produced and mixed by Nick Brine at the legendary Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales. The album was mastered by Pete Maher.

“We’re so excited about this recording,” says lead singer Stevie Westwood. “Just to record our songs in such a legendary place as Rockfield was a real buzz. I know it’s a cliché but, in our humble opinion, this is our most exciting recording to date, and we can’t wait to get it out there in front of a crowd.

Stevie Westwood is a superb vocalist, really carrying the power and bellowing out his lines with ease but he can do more than just shout – ‘Can You Save Me’ has him singing with real passion.

Rob Glendinning and ‘Seeks’ Seeking are a great twin lead on guitars and the heartbeat from Micheal Bailey & George Drewry holds everything tight as a drumskin.

There is a great sense of purpose about their music and they have really developed as a unit but the production by Nick Brine has really pulled the sound together and adding Bob Fridzema (ex King King and many others) on keys adds massively on the title track.
There are a lot of bands ploughing their furrows in the NWOCR field but the ones who hit the spot most solidly and with greatest impact are Bad Touch.

This one is essential. NEW SINGLE “SEE YOU AGAIN” ON FRIDAY 5TH JUNE
