Forgotten Hard Rock Albums : Wild Boyz "Unleashed"

[AlphaMale]

Another in my series of forgotten hard rock CDs. Today's forgotten gem is 1991's "Unleashed!" by the band WILD BOYZ. A band that was featured on the Rock On The Rise section of Metal Edge magazines bvack in the day, I anxiously awaited for my local record store to have this. And disappoint it did not!

Some of my favorites:

I always wished they made another album

[Captain Howdy]

Found this CD in a boot fair years ago and bought it on the strength of their image and how cheap it was.

Didn't stay in my collection for long that as it all sounded a bit amateur.

I did like a couple of songs, and Pleasure and pain is a fantastic song though.

 

My only regret is when I traded it in or sold it, I had no idea how much it would go on to be worth as I barely got back what I paid for it.

[Crazysam]

I only have this in mp3 format.  I've read some positive comments about the band in the past, but unfortunately the album didn't do much for me the couple of times I played it.

Another blast from the past  remember liking this one a bit better than some of you guys, agree on the amateur ref on the sound but I think that adds to the charm for most parts.

[The Rocker]

Had the tape back in the day, now I only have the mp3. Good album.

Really like this one. Nothing groundbreaking but highly enjoyable for this genre. If anyone has a legit cd of this, (not the boot floating around) I'll take it off their hands. Lemme know.

[Crazysam]

If anyone is looking to get this on cd but doesn't want to pay the high price for the original, Demon Doll Records has just re-issued the album, re-mastered, silver pressed, officially licensed with an 8 page booklet.

Wild Boyz recorded, Unleashed! For about $10K. That’s about 1/50th of Wildside’s debut at the same time. That said, Wild Boyz were the single-largest unsigned act in Hollywood at the time. I also believe Wild Boyz sold about 250K albums worldwide, Wildside did not.
