An enthusiastic quartet from Los Angeles, the nucleus of the group met in KING KOBRA, with whom Mick Sweda had recorded the 'Ready To Strike' and 'Thrill Of A Lifetime' albums.
After the departure of MARK FREE vocalist Marq Torien was recruited in the vocalist's spot. The singer had actually had a brief spell during the early eighties in the formative RATT as a guitarist. Bassist Lonnie Vencent (a.k.a. Loni Black) had taken over from Johnny Rod who had quit KING KOBRA to join W.A.S.P. This incarnation of KING KOBRA recorded album quality demos before the trio of Sweda, Torien and Vincent decided to quit in order to do their own thing. With drummer Jimmy D'Anda in the ranks BULLETBOYS was born.
The quartet's debut 1988 album was produced by Ted Templeman, noted for his previous work with VAN HALEN. Following the release of the album the band toured America extensively supporting CINDERELLA, HUNTER-RONSON, CHEAP TRICK, BON JOVI, POISON and WINGER. BULLETBOYS performed their debut British dates in 1989 and by the end of their schedule had racked up a tally of nearly 400 shows pushing album sales past the million mark.
