Stiv Bators – Disconnected

Originally released in 1980, this was Stiv Bators’ first solo album. Now reissued with 2 bonus tracks, not available on the original version, a slightly different picture on the cover (the actual unfiltered photo as used on the 1980 issue) and a booklet with extensive liner notes and photos. Bators was the man who destroyed Rocket from the Tombs, from which he hijacked half the members to found one of the most influential American punk bands to have existed, The Dead Boys. Stiv had turned in his broken teeth for a more power pop oriented solo career. This is not an album recorded by a has-been former punk idealist; instead its a true step forward into another unknown arena packing all the glare and attitude that remained from the last. The music is more similar to 60’s power pop than the vicious punk rock that Bators became known for originally, while a member of The Dead boys. New generations continue to discover it. It still holds up very well and sounds as fresh and vibrant as ever. —————————— Publicado originalmente en 1980, este fue el primer álbum en solitario de Stiv Bators.
