 In Music We Trust - Stiv Bators: L.A. Confidential
The name Stiv Bators is legendary in Punk circles -- amazing when you think of how short-lived his original outfit, the Dead Boys, was back in the day or the fact his solo career wasn't exactly littered with gold records and glamour.
Bators was as famous for his onstage antics as his offstage pranks - as we discover from reading the thoughtfully penned and thorough cover booklet accompaniment to "L.A. Confidential," Bomp's latest entry into the untold and still unfolding story of the freakish frontman, forever the child star that never was.
Rather, Bators returned to the "roots" of the matter chugging back a decade and a half and exploring the unheralded Garage Punk styles of the '60s with a classic Rock edge.

 LEFT OFF THE DIAL - Album Reviews - Stiv Bators: Disconnected
From the still hot coals of the crumbling punk ruins, Stiv Bators steps out disconnected, disjointed from the destruction and rotting foundation of a floundering music mecca to find a way to keep his agitation alive and psychotically well.
Bators was the man who destroyed Rocket from the Tombs, from which he hijacked half the members to found one of the most influential American punk bands to have existed, The Dead Boys.
Stiv has turned in his broken teeth for a more power pop oriented solo career.

Stiv always had a great (big) ear for a cover and here 'Have Love Will Travel' is given the Stiv as wily old rougue character, splendidly smoking jacketed host of a loose limbed penthouse party make-over.
No different stylistically to the 'Disconnected' stuff, this is Stiv having a whale of a time before the darker Lords of the New Church era, having the full backing of, but still testing to the limits, a supportive, almost indulgent label, and good on 'em.
This is the companion piece to Stiv's classic set of surf pop spiky heeled garage stompers 'Disconnected', also in re-issue form.
