Originally released in 1980,
Stiv Bators' first solo album was re-released in 2004 by Bomp, which added five extra tracks not available on the original version. Like his other Bomp solo release, the L.A., L.A. compilation, the music is more similar to '60s power pop than the vicious punk rock that
Bators was originally known for as a member of
the Dead Boys. You'll get a pretty good idea of what the album sounds like by giving a listen to the melodic opener, "Evil Boy," followed by the near-ballad "A Million Miles Away" and the full-length version of "The Last Year" (available on L.A., L.A. in an edited single version). ~ Greg Prato
