Information/Write-up

We were saddened to learn of the passing of Larry Gillstrom, a true Canadian rock legend and founding force behind Kick Axe. This single marks the first recording he appeared on with the band (they also appeared with the track 'Reality Is The Nightmare' on the 1981 compilation Playboy Street Rock) - the start of a career that would see him excel on stage, in the studio, and in the film industry.

Larry was not only an exceptional guitarist, songwriter, and performer, but also a generous and kind person who always made time for fans and fellow musicians. His talent, determination, and spirit helped carry Kick Axe through challenges and triumphs alike, keeping the music alive for decades.

Rest in peace, Larry. Still alive and kicking and forever on the road to rock.
