SIC VIKKI – The Early Years [FnA release] (2022) *only at 0dayrox*

If you are a veteran Melodic Rock / AOR aficionado, you should know SIC VIKKI. Hailing from the USA, Philadelphia area, Sic Vikki released a superb CD in the early ’90s, but the band origins date from the mid-Eighties. Sic Vikki’s debut “Kiss Me In French” was one of the best Melodic Rock / AOR albums created by an American band during the ’90s. Ironically, the CD was released in Europe and Japan, but not in America.

With a bombastic production courtesy of Steve Plunkett (Autograph), the album was very successful in the old continent, leading Sic Vikki to tour Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, etc, and also all over the US East Coast as headliners or supporting major acts. The band released a second effort in 1995, and disbanded soon after.
But Sic Vikki born in the ’80s, and while rocking every venue in the US East coast, they recorded a lot of own composed material. These demos are now rescued by FnA records on this “The Early Years”.

On “The Early Years” the quality varies both in the songwriting department and sound wise – obviously recorded at different stages of the band during the ’80s – including some raw live recordings from Sik Vikki’s early shows.
The songs are the vein of Autograph, the first Warrant, Danger Danger, Winger, etc, of course with less bombastic production – all are demos – yet enjoyable and a collectors piece.
Very cool stuff rescued from oblivion. Highly Recommended
