Includes "How Much Love", "Hard 16" and 9 more!
Vixen's second album is the strongest "second album" ever released by
an 80's rock band. The guitar work is first rate, the bass and drums
fit perfectly, and the vocals are astonishing. Rev It Up has remained
one of my favorites over the last decade and will continue as such.
Whether you're driving, catching some rays, or anything in between,
nothing will keep your blood pumping like Rev It Up. Thanks to Vixen
for a timeless rock album!

Vixen Biography
Described by some as "a female Bon Jovi," Vixen is an all-female band
that has specialized in very slick, commercial, and glossy hard rock
and pop-metal. Vixen was never a favorite among rock critics, whose
barbs didn't prevent the band from selling millions of albums in the
late '80s. Formed in Los Angeles in 1981, bandmembers Janet Gardner
(lead vocals), Jan Kuehnemund (lead guitar), Share Pedersen (bass), and
Roxy Petrucci (drums) payed more than their share of dues on the
L.A./Hollywood club scene before signing with EMI in 1987. Vixen's
self-titled debut album came out in 1988, and the CD sold millions
thanks in part to the single "Edge of a Broken Heart" (which enjoyed
heavy exposure on MTV). Released in 1990, Vixen's second album, Rev It
Up, had its share of catchy, infectious material but wasn't the big
seller EMI was hoping for. With the rise of alternative rockers like
Nirvana and Pearl Jam in 1992 and 1993, so-called "corporate metal"
bands such as Vixen suddenly found themselves out of vogue. It wasn't
until 1998's Tangerine on CMC International that Vixen recorded a third
album. After taking some time off, the group (with a new bassist on
board) attempted a short-lived comeback but ended up splitting. Jan
Kuehnemund decided to keep the name alive and recruited Lynn Louise
Lowrey (bass), Kat Kraft (drums), and Jenna Sanz-Agero (vocals) to
round out the band. This new version of Vixen released Extended
Versions, a recording of their set at 2005's Sweden Rock Festival, and
a studio album, Live & Learn, which was released in Europe in 2006.
The album was nominated as Best Album: Hard Rock/Metal for the 2007
Independent Music Awards and is scheduled for release in the U.S. in
early 2007.
