WELCOME TO THE wrecking ball, as administered by Steve Stevens and his Atomic Playboys that is. When talking guitar maestros this gentleman is at the top of his game right up there with shredding companions such as Steve Vie, Eddie Van Halen, Paul Gilbert and Joe Satriani. With looks that kill Stevens made a huge impression during the 80s as the guitar playing foil to former British punk rocker Billy Idol, crafting a style that would grant him leave of absence to form the Atomic Playboys. Discovered by Montrose and Van Halen producer Ted Templeman, who signed him to a deal with Warner Brothers Records, Steve was allowed to record his debut album over a two year period such was their belief in his talent.
Enlisting vocalist Parramore McCarty from Warrior and drummer Thommy Price who had played with Joan Jett and Billy Idol, the music is strictly high performance rock, performed ferociously with little in the way of apology. Originally issued in 1989 and expertly produced by Beau Hill (Ratt, Winger), Stevens crafted an impressive guitar fuelled album that sounds as fresh and bright today as it did back then. Tracks such as Crackdown , Atomic Playboys , Pet The Hot Kitty and a cover of the Sweet classic Action propels this record into the red zone and beyond.
