Influenced by rambunctious arena rock from the 70s and early 80s, the group is perhaps best known for their 1984 album "Vices", praised by publications such as Allmusic for its "down-and-dirty guitar riffs" and notably managing to crack the American market. The band achieved moderate commercial success in the mid-1980s on the strength of the singles "Heavy Metal Shuffle", "On the Road to Rock", and "Rock The World". Following the release of their 1986 album "Rock the World", Kick Axe disbanded and remained on hiatus for many years. In 2004, they re-emerged with the album "Kick Axe IV".
