Bulletboys

A Los Angeles-based metal outfit featuring ex-members of King Cobra and Ratt, Bulletboys' flamboyant blend of glam metal and hard rock found success via a gold-selling debut album that arrived just in time to catch the last wave of the 1980s hair metal scene. They disbanded in 1998 after enduring numerous personnel changes and stylistic misfires, but found a measure of success again in the 2010s with a retooled lineup and a rekindled thirst to rock hard that helped fuel late-career outings like Elefante (2015) and From Out of the Skies (2018).
