Here's one of my favorite glam albums ever! Holy crap was this band ever good and for some reason they never made it huge. But they left behind a couple really great albums and this is my favorite because although they re-recorded some of the songs for future releases, this one has the classics like "Guitar Mafia" and "Feel Like Suicide" that aren't available elsewhere. Damn, I can't recommend this one enough, so fucking good.
The Guitar Mafia baby
New York is driving me crazy
Jesus can't even find the truth!!!

So if anyone even vaguely knows me they know that I love music from the gritty streets of New York City and this is a forgotten gem that I really feel is worth revisiting. It's a poppy little sleazy album that flows with great energy and overall is a sing-along good time. This was unfortunately the bands only proper full length release and I think "Pretty Suicide" was a minor hit and the song "Spit" was featured in the movie "The Crow: City of Angels". It also includes a very nice version of The Velvet Underground classic, "Sunday Morning". Check it out, for sure.
