VIA PRESS RELEASE | 1991’s Saigon Kick announced the arrival of a new heavyweight in the hard rock/ metal scene.
The gleefully raucous 1991 self-titled debut from this Miami band covered all the alternative and heavy metal bases, and while it didn’t score a commercial home run, it was still a prodigious clout (kick?) courtesy of guitarist/songwriter Jason Bieler. In between classic metal tunes like “Coming Home” and “Ugly,” Saigon Kick offers everything from grunge-y punk (“What Do You Do,” “Acid Rain”) to power ballads (“Love of God”) to even a couple of quite funny pop songs (the neurotic “My Life” and the homo-erotic “Down by the Ocean”).
Since it arrived in the early-‘90s “dead zone” for vinyl, Saigon Kick came out on LP only in Europe, and original copies go for a pretty penny, er, euro…our first-time U.S. vinyl release comes in a white vinyl pressing limited to just 900 copies. Includes lyric sheet/inner sleeve.
