Kickin Valentina Release New Album “Anthems From The Underground” And “Rock’n’Roll Casualty” Video

Aug 28, 2026

Kickin Valentina‘s new album, Anthems From The Underground, is officially out today via Mighty Music, a hard-hitting celebration of everything that makes underground rock’n’roll matter. The Atlanta-based band also share the official video for “Rock’n’Roll Casualty.”

For more than a decade, the band have built their reputation the old-fashioned way: loud guitars, relentless energy, sweat-soaked live shows and a refusal to play by anyone else’s rules. With Anthems From The Underground, Kickin Valentina turn that attitude into a new full-length statement that finds the band pushing themselves beyond familiar territory without losing the raw edge that got them here. Rather than looking at the underground as a limitation, they embrace it as a badge of honour, and pay tribute to the fans, musicians and independent spirit that keep rock music alive outside the mainstream.

“On this album we decided to bring in a different producer. We love everything Andy Reilly did on our previous albums, but creatively we thought it was time to do something different and have someone push us out of our comfort zone. Every record we want to grow as a band and I think Pete brought out the best of us individually in the studio.”
– Chris Taylor

That new creative partnership came in the shape of producer Pete Newdeck (Fury, Tony Martin, Steve Grimmett’s Grim Reaper), who recorded the album with the band in Atlanta before mixing was handled at PNProductions in the UK and mastering by Harry Hess at H-Bomb Mastering in Toronto. The result retains Kickin Valentina’s trademark punch while giving their songs a fresh sense of dynamics, aggression and purpose.

“I told him I thought we should embrace the fact that we were an underground band and pay tribute to fans that support underground music. After kicking around a few ideas back and forth, ‘Anthems From The Underground’ was born.”
– Chris Taylor

Formed in Atlanta in 2013, Kickin Valentina have spent the years since building an international following through a succession of releases including Super Atomic, Imaginary Creatures, Revenge of Rock, Star Spangled Fist Fight, Raw Trax, B-Sides and Bootlegs and the Chaos in Copenhagen EP.

Anthems From The Underground is out now on LP (purple vinyl, limited to 500 copies), digipack CD and digital formats via Mighty Music. Purchase and stream it here.
