It's about time we get sleazy here at Capital Loss, we've had some pretty choice bands posted but none quite like this before. Lethal Lipstick formed in 1985 with the mission of combining glam rock, heavy metal, and the snotty viciousness of punk and their early recordings are full of all that goodness in one place. From what I could gather they had quite a rotating cast of characters, including Mike Trash who would go on to start the Erotics out of the ashes of Lethal Lipstick and Nick Grind the guitarist of The Plague, but in the beginning there were Bob Gori and Wayne Haskins of The Misfits/Tragics who formulated the plan to smash together the New York Dolls and the Dead Boys to some success. It sounds like at some point in the late '80s they had a record deal with CBS records that went south after Sony bought the company, but I couldn't tell you the details of that as there's a few different stories I've come across and none of them are easy to sum up in the interest of brevity. If it sounds like it would be your thing, then it probably is. Included here are the two original tracks on the Bad Boys single, and two demo recordings because they rip and I can't find any more than that of the original cassette.
Tracklist:
- Bad Boys
- Sick and Tired
- Love Kills (demo)
- Sick and Tired (demo)
Looking for anything by the old Albany hardcore band THY SONS OF GOD
