If you think Kix stopped kickin' ass after their last 1995's "Show Business", then you're wrong. Singer Steve Whiteman and drummer Jimmy Chalfant kept the train rollin' by founding Funny Money in 1996 and released their eponymous debut in 1998. After 8 years crawling underground playing Kix and Funny Money music, here comes the fifth release, "Stick It!". Came out in 2006, this album still shoots some raunchy rock and roll as raw as sushi in the classic Kix style.

"By The Balls" and "Hot On Your Heels" will take you back to the Kix glorious days with an uptempo groove, smokey riffs, and hellacious chorus. "Fool's Confession" and "Weeds And Roses" are fun midtempo rockers, more laid back, and a bit radio friendly. "Nowhere At All" is the greatest song of the album, built on a nice-and-easy sleazy party anthem, they even put a clever reggae fill at the middle. "Thousand Thank Yous" is a mandatory acoustical driven ballad with an expressive straight-from-the-heart singing by Whiteman. Some other good tracks that I like, though not in the same quality level as the others, are "Crush", "Big Bang Boom", and "About Women".

If you're searching for a neat sleaze release or a big fan of Kix, this is a fun disc to explore. After Kix's reunion in 2004, "Stick It!" is probably gonna be Funny Money's last legacy as bassist Mark Schenker even joined Kix to help them filling in the hole left by Donnie Purnell. The production level is excellent and the most important thing is, you can feel the energy and the enthusiasm shown by the band, it looks like they’re having a lot of fun recording this album. Despite couple of weak songs, this is definitely still a solid album and a good one to spin and dance your night away.
