Crash Kelly featuring frontman Sean Kelly will be releasing a covers album titled Mixx Täpe Vol 1 via the label Music In Motion on April 5, 2024. Interestingly, Kelly is part of Lee Aaron‘s band who is also releasing a covers album titled Tattoo Me via Metalville Records on April 26, 2024.
“Mïxx Täpe Vol 1 is Crash Kelly’s first release since 2008, and has been expertly mixed by Frank Gryner (Rob Zombie, A Perfect Circle) to bring you back to the days of big drums, big guitars, and even bigger hair!
Crash Kelly was formed in 2003, ultimately signing with Los Angeles based Liquor and Poker Music, the boutique rock imprint of heavy metal powerhouse label Century Media Records. Career highlights included tours with Alice Cooper, The London Quireboys, Enuff Z’Nuff, and many others as the band solidified its reputation as one of Canada’s finest underground rock n roll exports with performances across North America, the UK, and Europe.
Inspired by Sean’s best- selling book Don’t Call It Hair Metal : Art in the Excess of ‘80s Rock, Mïxx Täpe Vol. 1 serves as a lovingly curated playlist, and features hot new recordings of songs by Mötley Crüe, Ratt, Twisted Sister, L.A. Guns, and W.A.S.P.. The album also brings together covers of early glam and hard rock tracks that inspired these 80’s icons, including selections by Alice Cooper, KISS, Cheap Trick, New York Dolls, and Sweeney Todd. It also features the latest Crash Kelly original song “Touch Me”, available for the first time in physical form.”
