Rising alternative rock band Kickstand Jenny, based out of Santa Rosa Beach Florida, just released their new album, Between the Lies. The album, with sounds reminiscent of a variety of rock bands such as Aerosmith, Van Halen, and Slaughter, explores the death and rebirth of a soul.

The song alternative rock anthem “Solo,” featuring Mark Slaughter, was the first song to be written and recorded on the album. The band wanted to record a song with one of rock’s legends and their hero. They sent him some songs to check out, and he chose “Solo” as he said it reminded him of his early days when he was in the band, Vinnie Vincent Invasion. “Mark really put his stamp on the song, yet it remarkably sounds unique and different from his other works,” shares Preston Morelock. “Interestingly, the song is about going solo and leaving a situation, which is what he did in 1989 when he left Vinnie Vincent and formed the band Slaughter.”

Kickstand Jenny is known for their hard work and humble spirits, and the success of their music has allowed them to tear up the stages with some of their idols, including Slaughter, Living Colour, Sebastian Bach, L.A. Guns and LIT. 

Founder and guitarist Preston Morelock, from Johnson City, Tennessee is a self taught musician who’s played music since he was a child. He credits Van Halen’s Eruption as one of his earliest inspirations. Morelock played with multiple bands in previous years before moving to Florida and forming Kickstand Jenny.

Fronting the band is the amazing vocalist, Scott Foster Harris, from Dallas, Texas. Foster Harris’s music career began in 2006 after sustaining an injury as a professional bull rider and moving to Nashville to start the band Zen Rizing, then to Los Angeles where he joined L.A. Guns.

Bassist Chris Mcomas from Fort Walton Beach, Florida is also self taught, learning to play music at a young age. He started playing professionally in 2000 and credits Mötley Crüe as an early influence.

Rounding out the lineup is drummer AJ Sipos, from Santa Rosa Beach, whose inspiration is all punk rock. Sipos has also played in several bands since 2005.
