Chris Jericho’s Kiss Cover Band Kuarantine Drop “Unholy” Video
A killer cover band can really get you going if they know how to do it right. Even though former wrestler, turned actor and current Fozzy frontman Chris Jericho already has enough on his muscly plate, he’s also got a Kiss tribute on his hands. They’re called Kuarantine and even though they do their deeds without makeup on, they still come out just as deliciously dirty. Just as dirty, in fact, as the official music video they just released for their version of “Unholy.” Watch it below.
“Unholy” was originally written by Gene Simmons and Vinnie Vincent, and was featured on Kiss’s 1992 record Revenge. Kuarantine’s video, which was produced by HM Studios and shot at HM Studios in Las Vegas, Nevada, is like a colorful fever dream. You’ll see.
Kuarantine likes taking on Kiss songs that may not immediately come to front of mind. Last year, they did a version “Good Girl Gone Bad,” which ended up making waves as the No. 1 Most Added track on the SMR Rock chart as well as the Most Added song on the Mediabase Active Rock Activator Panel
When “Good Girl Gone Bad” first came out, Jericho said in a statement:
“The mission of Kuarantine has always been to pull the forgotten gems from the non-makeup, ’80s KISS catalog, give them a modern polish, and unleash them on current mainstream rock radio, so they can get the respect they deserve. With that mindset, we feel we’ve hit another home run with the 1987-released underrated Gene Simmons classic ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’. It’s got more hooks than a tackle box, with a great chorus and brain-melting solos. This song is the perfect springtime tune to crank in your car and rock out with your unmentionables out! And with two Top 20 singles in our repertoire, we’re stoked to get to the Top 10 and beyond. It’s time to get KRAZY with Kuarantine!”
I’m sure Chris has that same energy for “Unholy.” You can even see it in his face in the video. Which Kiss track do you think they’ll tackle next?
