Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping away from the visceral snarl of the Dead Boys, Stiv Bators explored a highly melodic, 1960s-influenced power pop sound on his solo debut 'Disconnected'. Backed by an exceptional studio band, Bators channels his punk attitude into jangly, radio-friendly hooks and polished glam-punk aesthetics. The record served as a critical stepping stone towards his future work in The Lords of the New Church.
