For millions of kids around the world, American glam rock (maybe it was called “hair
metal” where you lived) brought a much-needed splash of colour and excitement to the 1980s. With L.A. and Hollywood at its core, the scene saw increasingly wild bands from across the USA reach a global audience, taking with them wardrobes full of leather, Lycra, stiletto heels, bandanas and make-up. As much bubblegum theatre as it was rock ‘n roll, many of these bands nevertheless lived the lifestyle to its limits, somehow remaining able to play and tour the world.

Scoring global hit after global hit with million selling iconic albums and chart-busting
singles, the likes of Poison, Kiss, David Lee Roth, Twisted Sister and Skid Row fused anti-social punk attitude, androgynous sex appeal, expert musicianship and hook-laden pop-rock, drawing in everybody from the serious rock and metal crowd to teeny boppers and their parents. Inescapably the sound of America and beyond throughout that era, many of these bands endure today, their ongoing appeal proof of the solid records at the heart of it all.

‘Young & Wild’ takes us on a chronological journey through that time and place, taking in smash hits and lesser-known tracks, household names and underground cult favourites. A must-hear time capsule for those that were there, and a vital entry point for younger listeners drawn to the bright lights and stadium appeal of these now legendary bands.
