Restless are pioneers of British neo-rockabilly, with guitar ace Mark Harman at the helm since the band's emergence in 1980. Originally released in the late 1980s and long sought after by fans, Kickin' Into Midnight brings together 11 studio recordings with nine live tracks from the legendary Klub Foot in Hammersmith, London. This 2008 reissue restores a much-loved album to circulation in an attractive digipak edition.
The studio set showcases Restless at their melodic, guitar-driven best, with songs including “What Can You Say?”, “Somebody Told Me”, “Trouble Rides A Fast Horse” and “After Midnight”. The bonus live recordings capture the band in their natural habitat, tearing through “Ghost Town”, “Knock On Wood”, “Sixteen Tons” and “Baby Please Don't Go”. Mark Harman's distinctive guitar style helped to establish the band's important place in the neo-rockabilly movement, which bridged traditional rockabilly and the harder-edged psychobilly scene.
For fans who missed the original Madhouse release, this expanded CD is an excellent opportunity to own two sides of Restless in one package: the studio album and the sought-after Live & Kicking performance from the Klub Foot era. With 20 tracks spanning sharp neo-rockabilly songwriting and the atmosphere of one of London's most celebrated psychobilly venues, Kickin' Into Midnight is an essential addition to any Restless collection.
