Spin Cycle: Kiss, Destroyer [Resurrected]
Do you remember the first full-length LP you ever bought? Mine was Kiss’ Destroyer, which I purchased in 1976 at the ripe old age of 10.

Excellent marketers with tons of kid appeal. There’s a reason that just about every rock musician sites them as an early influence, and a reason that […]
