KICKIN VALENTINA plays loud unapologetic rock n roll. In April 2024 KICKIN VALENTINA will release their 4th full length album “Star Spangled Fist Fight” worldwide on Mighty Music/Target Group. The album was once again produced by Andy Reilly (UFO, Bruce Dickinson, Cradle of Filth) at Muse Productions in Atlanta, and Mastered by Joel Wanasek. “It’s been way too long since our last album, and we are really excited about “Star Spangled Fist Fight.” I know every band says this, but I think this is our best album so far. Everything just seemed to click while we were writing it.” States Bassist Chris Taylor.
