Plays With Mercury

For fans of KISS, Angel, and Hanoi Rocks! Initial Kick is the high-energy Philadelphia-based rock band helmed by Steve E. Ojane (Angel) on lead vocals and Frankie Schaffer (Hurricane Jane) on lead guitar. They formed with a collective passion for the theatrical anthem rock they had all grown up on. Driven by the influences of KISS, Mott The Hoople, Hanoi Rocks, Alice Cooper, T. Rex, and David Bowie, the boys bring their own original and dynamic voice to the genre of arena rock. Their debut album Plays With Mercury is an inspired love letter to rock and roll. Steve E. Ojane replaced bassist Felix Robinson in the legendary 70’s glam band Angel in 2018 and has contributed to their Billboard charting comeback album Risen and latest release Once Upon A Time. Initial Kick's debut album Plays With Mercury features 12 tracks including a cover of The Archies “Sugar Sugar”, and the first single “Tranquilizer” which drops on September 15th.
