Kicking Against The Pricks
Kicking Against The Pricks is the third album from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, originally released in 1986 and offering a unique entry in their catalogue as a collection of reinterpretations and covers.
Rather than a standard studio album, the record sees Nick Cave and the band rework songs by a diverse range of artists—including Gene Pitney, Johnny Cash and John Lee Hooker—transforming them into something distinctly their own. Each track is reshaped through the band’s dark, brooding aesthetic, blending post-punk intensity with blues, gospel and country influences.
The result is a cohesive and atmospheric album that highlights both Cave’s interpretive voice and the band’s ability to inhabit and reinvent classic material with emotional weight and raw power.
This remastered reissue is pressed on vinyl LP, delivering enhanced clarity while preserving the stark, haunting character of the original recordings.
A compelling and often overlooked release, Kicking Against The Pricks stands as a testament to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ versatility and artistic vision.
