RICH KID EXPRESS - "Under The Purple Lights" (EP) - Reviewed By Metal Digest ! Check it out here https://metal-digest.com/2023/09/20/rich-kid-express-under-the-purple-lights-ep/

Sometimes just one little petty thing can put you off a band and I won’t lie… it was the use of dollar signs as s’, who do you think you are? Gene $immon$?! This is how I felt when Rich Kid Express delivered ‘Under the Purple Lights’, their first EP since their 2020 debut album.

Once I got over my prejudices, I realised that ‘Under the Purple Lights’ is an excellent EP. This is one of those releases which is fully modern but manages to pull on the nostalgic heartstrings of the 70’s and 80’s with its beautiful underlying synths through each track. Furthermore, this EP is wonderfully produced and allows the great riffs within to really shine. In fact, you wouldn’t think this was a new band because Rich Kid Express shows all the experience well beyond their years, you think that they’d been doing this for years. Alongside this, the vocals are really captivating, they have that proper gravelly raucous sleaze style and if you’re a fan of anything from Alice Cooper and Kiss through to Zodiac Mindwarp and Million Dollar Reload, then this is the band for you.

Seriously though, if you like classic sounding hard rock, melodic rock or sleaze then get into Rich Kid Express because it is good stuff, just you know, try not to get distracted by those dollar signs! Metal Digest

Rich Kid Express is the new retro flavored hard rock project by Rob Richardson. The one-man circus is set to release its fun and catchy rock album on September 15, 2023. With influences from the glam rock era of the seventies to the "Headbanger's Ball" era of the eighties, Rich Kid Express is not to be taken too seriously but has a knack for big hooks and riffs. Fans of KISS, Alice Cooper, and AC/DC will definitely want to check out this upcoming release. #RichKidExpress #HardRock #RobRichardson #MusicRelease #AdvanceNC
