Vixen - Revit Up
Review by Monica Douglas Castroviejo
Revit Up, the second studio album by the all-female rock band Vixen, is a timeless classic that showcases the band's raw talent and musical prowess. Released in 1990, the album features ten tracks that blend hard rock, pop, and glam metal, creating a sound that is both edgy and catchy.
The album opens with the hit single "How Much Love," a fast-paced rock anthem that sets the tone for the rest of the record. The song features Janet Gardner's powerful vocals, Jan Kuehnemund's scorching guitar riffs, and the tight rhythm section of Roxy Petrucci on drums and Share Pedersen on bass.
Other standout tracks include "Love Is a Killer," a haunting ballad that showcases Gardner's range and emotion, and "Not a Minute Too Soon," a hard-hitting rocker that highlights Kuehnemund's guitar skills.
Revit Up also features a cover of the classic Jefferson Airplane song "Somebody to Love," which Vixen puts their own spin on, adding a heavy dose of guitar and attitude.

About Vixen
Vixen was formed in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1971, by guitarist Jan Kuehnemund while still at Como Park High School. They were the first all female rock band from the Twin Cities.. In 1984, an early version of the band with Kuehnemund, singer Janet Gardner and bassist Pia Maiocco (who later married guitarist Steve Vai) appeared in the movie Hardbodies, as the on-screen band Diaper Rash. In 1985, the band moved to Los Angeles, California to be part of the L.A. rock scene.
Lineup changes happened during the following years until the "classic lineup" of Janet Gardner (b. Janet Patricia Gardner on March 17, 1962 in Juneau, Alaska, USA) - lead vocals, rhythm guitar, Jan Kuehnemund (b. Janice Lynn "Jan" Kuehnemund, November 18, 1953 October 10, 2013) - lead guitar, background vocals, Share Pedersen (b. Sharon June Howe on March 21, 1963 in Glencoe, Minnesota) - bass, background vocals, and Roxy Petrucci (b. Roxy Dora Petrucci on March 17, 1960 in Rochester, Michigan) - drums, background vocals, was formed. This lineup of Vixen was interviewed in 1987 along with many other rock artists of the day by Penelope Spheeris for her film The Decline of Western Civilization II: The Metal Years.
In 1988 the band was signed to EMI, and they began recording their debut album. Vixen spent the next year touring the world, supporting acts such as Ozzy Osbourne, Scorpions, and Bon Jovi, as well as headlining their own shows. The band returned to the studio in late 1989/early 1990 to record their follow-up album, Rev It Up, which was released in July 1990. A year of touring followed, including headlining their own shows and supporting acts such as KISS and Deep Purple. In mid-1991, the group disbanded due to musical differences.
