Evil Kiss 03:48
Violent engine and jet black seats She's driving weak kneed women at hard rock speeds She likes to burn the road and the rubber hard steel and chrome I raced her all summer She was an evil black and silver machine Sucking up gas and spitting out speed Blowing past the cops at a hundred and three She had an Evil Kiss and it went like Evil Kiss It was nineteen seventy six-six-six She's built to break the law baby break the law, AH She had an Evil Kiss It was nineteen seventy six-six-six She's built to break the law baby break the law, AH No headlights down a one-way street Baby this cold black beast breathes the fire of speed Shifting gears oooh baby shake those knees Burnt gas in the air a black lung disease The winds going by gonna make them all freeze Tearing off clothes and ripping up trees Feels so fast at her slowest Speeds She had an Evil Kiss and it went like Evil Kiss It was nineteen seventy six-six-six She's built to break the law baby break the law, AH She had an Evil Kiss It was nineteen seventy six-six-six She's built to break the law baby break the law, AH

I remember in my heart and I remember in my head All those evil ghosts and how they lived, baby And what they did Memories can turn so cold But at least I know I won't forget Sinking in the graves their bones underneath The unrepentant souls OH You Will Remember The Dead And like is like a son of bitch And all that we have laid to rest Remember as they rise again YEAH They're coming from the old grave yard Dying for a second chance All those evil ghosts they're coming back baby To bite down on your flesh When the streets are running red with blood And you're dancing right down to hell You will remember the dead this night And never live to tell OH You Will Remember The Dead And like is like a son of bitch And all that we have laid to rest Remember as they rise again YEAH

about

The Deafening assembled in early 2008 with two clear missions. First, the band intentionally shed nearly all the petty contrivances of popular modern rock by striping its sound to the raw heart of classic rock. Second, The Deafening seeks to earn its’ name by resurrecting the bombastic theater of the big live rock and roll show. Influences are numerous, and primarily counted as Guns N’ Roses, MC5, Iggy Pop, Kiss, The Rolling Stones, AC DC, Queen, and The Misfits. The band’s trademark is a unique blend of glam, horror, punk, blues and sleaze rock blasted through big guitar stacks, all while boasting one of the most interactive and memorable stage shows ever put together.

about

The Deafening New York, New York

The Deafening is New York to it's core. A ferocious four piece born of the city's eternal energy. A raw tribute to it's defiant crush. With blues beating back and rough punk ethos, The Deafening are the natural heirs to the Bowery's big bad seventies sound. ... more
