Bio:
Hair / Glam Metal (Heavy Metal) band from Los Angeles, California (USA).Bassist Joey Wylde and drummer K. Lee Lauren formed the Wild Boyz from the remnants of their previous band Dorian Gray. With the addition of vocalist Willie D. and guitarists Valentino and Matt Steavanz, the band was ready to set the L.A. strip on fire amidst a flurry of hair spray and make-up.Wild Boyz were the personification of a hair metal band. These guys had the look, the songs, and the attitude to make some serious headway in the hair metal world. Sadly their debut record was released in 1991, not 1986. If Unleashed would have been released several years prior, I have no doubt these guys have been a little more well known.Wild Boyz may not have been the most original band of their time, but they sure put out a good rock ‘n’ roll record in my opinion. The album is chalked full of catchy songs and i’m sure if you like 80’s rock music like I do, you’ll have no problem enjoying this.They filled clubs in the L.A. glam heyday, and even did a couple of regional tours supporting their one and only album, Unleashed!. But by 1993 the grunge movement started to settle in, and bands such as the Wild Boyz all but disappeared, never to be heard from again.
Album:
The DDR Music Group has released an album titled Risen! from the group Wild Boyz, which consists of unreleased recordings and demos.WILD BOYZ was one the largest-drawing unsigned act in Sunset Strip history, selling more than 1,000 tickets for each and every show they played. No small feat considering the clubs on the Strip held less than 500 at full capacity. CD Risen! NOw.DDR has made available the remastered version of the underground cult classic ‘Unleashed!’ featuring the bands outstanding signature track “I Don’t Wanna Cry No More” as well nine additional songs that many would come to know and love the boyz for.Now we have come to the definitive WILD BOYZ last chapter with the release of “Risen!“. We have here the tracks that were being readied for their follow up album to ‘Unleashed!’ as well as demo songs that were recorded during the ‘Unleashed!’ sessions and didn’t make the cut.The Wild Boyz can always be proud of the mark they left on the Sunset Strip scene during the late 80’s and early 90’s and this release should put any fan of the band’s mind to rest knowing they have everything they ever laid to tape in their hands.The tracks on this album had been completely remastered / restored to the best possible sonic quality. All are demos and while seems the original tapes weren’t in the best shape, it’s very interesting to hear WILD BOYZ evolution on songs like ‘You Need Love’, ‘Public Enemy’, or ‘The Road To Nowhere’, more mature and harder than before.The album has been remastered and comes packaged in an 8 page booklet with a full set of lyrics, including liner notes written by band founder and drummer K. Lee Lauren.
