In a Press Release, Kramer believes the music he and his band mates made for Kick Out the Jams is just as important today as when it was originally released,

‘Today, there is a corrupt regime in power, an endless war thousands of miles away and uncontrollable violence wracking our country,” he said. “It’s becoming less and less clear if we’re talking about 1968 or 2018. I’m now compelled to share this music I created with my brothers 50 years ago. My goal is that the audience leaves these concerts fueled by the positive and unifying power of rock music.’
