Hollywood Hairspray - Volume 1
(Perris Records - 2002)

So what's the best thing from Hollywood? - the average punter would say the films - Wrong !! The answer is Glam and Sleaze Metal. Feast your ears on this glittering baby - here's where you go to hear new and unreleased gems from Pretty Boy Floyd, Steevi Jaimz, Roxx, Shameless and many more. This is pick up music in all matters of the word. Included is the unreleased cover of 'Kids in America' from Shameless (with Steve Summer's)- having more in common with the song than it's original mouth-piece, the U.K. 80's Pop Godess Kim Wylde. 'Backseat Shake' could well be a taste of what is to come on the latest Pretty Boy Floyd album - and if that's anything to go by, it'll be a 'Leather Boyz - Part 2' - truly awesome sleaze. It's fantastic to discover what many obscure old and new glam bands sound like such as 'Big Bang Babies' (who featured guitar ace Keri Kelli) with a number called 'Let's Go' or the charge of 'Women in a Fast Car' from Stampede Queen. I can't forget Steevi Jaimz' 'Cat on a hot tin roof' which has become an old-time favourite of mine. Well that's sold it ya - so get them dollarz out. Happy Hairspraying to you all.
