"Kick in the Eye" is a song by English gothic rock band Bauhaus. It was released in 1981 as one of two singles released along their second studio album, Mask (1981) and was released the following year as an EP titled Kick in the Eye (Searching for Satori E.P.).
"Kick in the Eye" was released on 27 March 1981 as a single from the band's second studio album, Mask (1981). It reached number 59 in the UK Singles Chart.[1]
"Kick in the Eye" was rereleased in February 1982 in EP form, titled Kick in the Eye (Searching for Satori E.P.). This version contains an audibly different mix, where the guitar is significantly louder. The EP reached number 45 in the same chart.[2]
All tracks written by Bauhaus.
Note: A rare misprint of the 12" exists, including "Poison Pen" instead of "In Fear Of Dub".[3] This rare 12" is only identifiable via listening, as the sleeve and vinyl are identical to the normal version.
