Kiss The Gun
Nightmares
3Ms Music Ltd
Kiss The Gun is the handiwork of bassist and Salisbury scene man, Dave South.
Together with Graham Exton on rhythm guitar, they wrote the seventh track
on Nightmares, Tainted Heart which was recorded, uploaded and spotted by
3Ms and put out as an EP in April 2016. Recruiting Rob Taylor on drums
and Gerry Hearn on lead guitar, left only one chamber to be filled in this
five-chamber, 72°cylinder rotation revolver – i.e. that of a vocalist.
Georgian-Armenian Nadin Zakharian flew in from Tbilisi at Dave South’s
request after spotting her online and you’d be hard-clicked to find a better
vocalist for this melodic rock group. Her vocals are clean and powerful,
polished and controlled throughout the album, but especially on the ballad Drowning
that also features consummate acoustic guitar.
Dave South has been in the music business before. Firstly in the
NWOBHM scene and more recently in a change of direction he started writing club
music. However, he has returned once more to his first love and he has
galvanised Kiss The Gun through a sense of humour, his song writing and trust
in each individual member of the band, (repaid in spades and then some) to
record Nightmares in just five days.
The flair and energy is palpable and James Patrick has captured both the
sound and the excitement in this recording. Gerry Hearn has a freshness
perhaps gained through recent spells with Jessie J and Pixie Lott adding to his
experience of playing with Uriah Heep.
Nightmares is a very upbeat album, with the same instant accessibility of another
of my favourite albums Metal Rendez-vous
by Krokus, where it will reside alongside in my ever-expanding music
collection.
