Signing to Warner Bros Records, with Marq Torien on lead vocals, Mick Sweda on guitar, Lonnie Vencent on bass and Jimmy D'Anda on drums, they had a good pedigree, having formed from the ashes of Carmine AppiceÆs King Kobra. Marq Torien had even featured in an early line-up of Ratt. Ted Templeman, famed for his production work for Montrose, Doobie Brothers, but most notably Van Halen, took the band into the studio to oversee their self-titled debut (CD1). Featuring the MTV hit æSmooth Up In YaÆ (US Hot 100 #71, US Mainstream Rock #23), the album also featured a cover of the OÆJays æFor The Love Of MoneyÆ (US Hot 100 #78, US Mainstream Rock #38). The ôBulletBoysö debut album was swiftly certified gold after selling half a million copies.In 1991, the band released ôFreakShowö (CD2). Once again, produced by Ted Templeman, the album is notable for the singles æTHC GrooveÆ, a cover of Tom Waits æHang on St. ChristopherÆ, plus a cover of J.B. LenoirÆs æTalk To Your DaughterÆ. Also included as a bonus track is a cover of rock classic æRock CandyÆ, originally written and recorded by Ted Templeman protÚgÚs Montrose for their self-titled debut. BulletBoysÆ version of æRock CandyÆ was featured on the soundtrack to ôWayneÆs Worldö.Their third and final album for Warners was 1993Æs ôZa-Zaö (CD3). The last BulletBoys album to be produced by Ted Templeman, the album was the first to feature only original songs, jointly credited to the band. Music tastes had changed since the heady heyday of only five years earlier, with grunge sweeping away the hairspray and pop-metal acts so popular at the end of the 80s.This complete collection of their Warner recordings includes new liner notes from Classic RockÆs Malcolm Dome, based on interviews with the bandÆs guitarist Mick Sweda and drummer Jimmy DÆAnda. The band would record a further six albums with various line-ups, releasing their most recent album in 2018.
