Originally known as the “Queerboys” (a name the band abandoned when it led to challenges getting booked for shows), The Quireboys had a pretty fun take on 80’s inspired hair metal. As I’ve mentioned before I’ve been binging the HBO show Peacemaker a lot lately and listening to the corresponding soundtrack as a result. The Quireboys are a big part of season 2 in a couple of spots (namely the song “I Don’t Love You Anymore”). They’re frankly a perfect fit with their over the top and almost musical-esque approach to 80’s metal. A Bit Of What You Fancy reminds me of Alice Cooper’s Billion Dollar Babies in that when you listen to it you feel like you’ve been transported to a very specific and tangible place. It’s a fun album for anyone looking to get into the deep cuts of hair metal.
Standout Songs: “7’Clock”, “Sweet Mary Ann”, “I Don’t Love You Anymore”
