Bulletboys
This American hard rock quartet was formed in 1987 by Mike Sweda (guitar, ex-King Kobra) and Marq Torien (vocals, ex-Ratt). They were joined by Lonnie Vincent (bass) and Jimmy D'Anda (drums) and took their musical lead from AC/DC, Van Halen and Montrose. Championed by producer Ted Templeman, they signed to Warner Brothers Records and recorded their debut the following year. Torien's flamboyant persona attracted comparisons with David Lee Roth, while Sweda's guitar effects were based on a style first made famous by Eddie Van Halen. Freakshow and Za-Za saw the band broaden their musical horizons and incorporate blues and funk influences into the basic hard rock structures. After a brief split, the band re-formed in 1997 and began touring and recording again.
