BRASS KITTEN – Across America [Demon Doll Records remaster + Bonus Track] *HQ* Exclusive

As requested, here’s in exclusive the sophomore effort of American glam metal act BRASS KITTEN, originally recorded 1992 but never released as the group split soon after the sessions. Titled “Across America“, the album was finally released 2001-2002. Out of print, Demon Doll Records has made their own remaster, new artwork and added a previously unreleased track as bonus.
If you are a fan of early melodic Skid Row and Bon Jovi, Brass Kitten definitely checks off a few boxes in that direction. Jam packed with everything a Hair Metal fan could ever want, this delicious gem opens up in the “Crossfire” and doesn’t let you out until the final notes of the never before released bonus track “Time To Say It’s Over.”

Brass Kitten toured extensively from 1988 through 1992, playing between 250 to 300 shows a year. From Winnipeg, Canada to Key West, Florida, BK played the circuit nonstop.
With the line up of John Jeremi – lead guitar and vocals, Sid – drums, Steve Philbrook – lead vocals and guitar, Kiar Olson – bass and vocals, BK successfully released their first album, ‘EZ-N-Pretty’. After Kiar’s departure from the band in 1990, Kellie Roulette joined. BK toured ‘EZ-N-Pretty’, winning ‘National Pick Hit of the Week’ on Z-Rock National Syndicate radio.

In 1992, Brass Kitten had just finished recording the tracks for ‘Across America’ when bassist Kellie was in a serious motorcycle accident. Kiar filled in for Kellie, but his recovery was doubtful and BK disbanded.
The Kitten bears it claws with the above mentioned killer tracks as wall as “Sweet Love Affair”. “Can’t Hold Back The Young”, “Bite The Bullet” and “Can’t Wait Another Day”.

Highlighted by front man Steve Philbrook’s outstanding set of pipes and John Jeremi’s killer fret work, the boys bring it home in style to close out the Brass Kitten era with two excellent albums under their belts… if you don’t have a copy of their debut “E-Z ‘N’ Pretty” – do yourself a favor and grab both of these and relive the glory days of the 80’s and early 90’s.
