An Atlanta, Georgia-based hard rock/glam metal outfit that specializes in "loud, unapologetic rock and roll,"
Kickin' Valentina were founded in 2013 by guitarist
Heber Pampillon and drummer Jimmy Berdine. After adding vocalist Joe Edwards and bass player Chris Taylor,
Kickin' Valentina inked a deal with the Atlanta-based indie label Highway 9 Records and released their debut self-titled EP. In 2015 they signed with Danish hard rock/metal label
Mighty Music/Target Group and issued their full-length debut, Super Atomic, which was produced by
Andy Reilly (
Bruce Dickinson,
UFO,
Asia,
the Quireboys). Two years later the band unleashed its sophomore long-player,
Imaginary Creatures, again via
Mighty Music/Target Group and with
Reilly behind the board. ~ James Christopher Monger
