You wanna know what it's like?

by A Tribute to the Hollywood Brats & The Boys

supported by

zzzptm Check out the bands that do the covers - a lot of them are making some great glam-punk/powerpop tunes that are worth further exploration and consideration. These songs drive a hard bargain and make no compromises with their chord changes, aggressive vocals, and true rockstar attitude. This is not 1-2-3-4 and then a lot of noise punk rock. This is punk so good, the record companies couldn't tame it. Get this album, then go check out the originals as well as the rest of the other bands. Favorite track: Thee S.T.P. - Tumble with me.

about

Long story cut short.
About 20 years ago, I started working on a tribute album to the Hollywood Brats and The Boys. If you're reading this, you already know what these two legendary bands had in common...Casino Steel! And a few amazing songs. And bad luck. They never achieved the success they deserved, but found a place in the heart of any true lover of rock'n'roll music.
I contacted some of my favourite bands around the world, who I knew were huge fans of the Brats & the Boys, and they recorded some amazing versions of those classic songs. The tribute album never came out at the time (sorry guys!) and remained shelved for almost 20 years.
Fast forward to 2020...the world is in lockdown because of the Corona virus disease. About time to release this goddamn tribute and let people have a good time listening to some great music while in isolation!
All the 24 songs were recorded specifically for this project. You might have heard some of them over the years, as a few bands used them as b-sides or included them in other releases. But most of them have remanained unreleased until now.
So here it is. Better late than never, I guess.
The good news is that it's absolutely FREE. Bandcamp allows 200 free downloads each month, so first come first served.
You also have the option to pay whatever you want.
