I was truly amazed to hear INXS’ recordings sounding so incredibly fresh, clear and kick-ass, like vinyl on steroids…” Originally formed in 1977, INXS’s career spans an extraordinary 40 years, during which they have sold over 40 million records worldwide, including Number 1 albums in four different continents. Delivering an avalanche of hits including “Need You Tonight,” “New Sensation,” “Never Tear Us Apart,” “Devil Inside” and “Mystify,” Kick sold over six million copies worldwide and made INXS one of the biggest bands on the planet. A force of nature in their prime, the band returned to the top of the Australian charts with the success of 2014 mini-series INXS: Never Tear Us Apart. Ready to turn heads all over again, Kick’s 30th anniversary edition provides the perfect opportunity to get reacquainted with this most timeless and ground-breaking of bands.
