Bad Touch

Kiss The Sky MARSHALL

Ain’t looking for nothing but a good time.

Album number four, and Bad Touch have got this feel-good rock’n’roll thing down pat. With rousing choruses, big guitars and bags of energy, Kiss The Sky hits its stride right from opener Come A Little Closer, and proceeds to cruise down the proverbial sundrenched highway with the top down without missing a beat.

The influences displayed up to now – Skynyrd, Bad Company, Zeppelin, Black Crowes, you name it, it’s here somewhere – and distilled into well-crafted tunes designed to simply put a smile on your face. Punchy, upbeat cuts include the title track, Before I Die, Strut and a buzzing cover of Kiki Dee’s I Got The Music In Me, while top honours go to atypical slowbuilding closer Something About Your Kiss and its killer guitar solo crescendo. They just make it all sound so easy. ■■■■■■■■■■
