We started the band around 1987. A friend of mine from school - Chris Vance was the first guitarplayer. Dick knew this totally crazy dude called George Swanson that could play the drums. We decided to call the band Nasty Idols. A name I came up with in my boyroom when I was 17 and staring at a album cover of New York Dolls.

Our first gig was in August of 1987 at a festival in our home town. We played mostly our own material and ended the show with the Kiss song "Detroit Rock City". Shortly after the first gig we went into a studio and recorded our first demo. the two songs "Don't Walk From Love" and "Easy Come Easy Go". We paid ourselves for the printing of 1000 vinyl singles. I remember that we were very picky with the coverphoto. We wanted to look as we were the biggest fucking rockstars on the planet.

In 1988 we got

"Cruel Intention" is the sophomore release of the Swedish sleaze gunners, Nasty Idols. Released in 1991, their musical style is crossing between the wild and wicked glam metal of Motley Crue and the commercial hard rock of Bon Jovi. Fronted by Andy Pierce who sounded like a blend of Phil Lewis of L.A.Guns and Taime Downe of Faster Pussycat, this album roared from an uptempo gasoline burning heavy metal, down to a laid back bluesy hard rock, and sliced between an anthemic melodic hard rock. Peter Espinoza's guitarwork is also amazing and you can hear his outstanding delivery in most of the songs here.

My fave picks of the album are the crunchy Winger-ish hooks of "The Way Ya Walk", the uptempo sleaze of "Cool Way of Living" and "B.I.T.C.H", the furious slab of "Westcoast City Rockers", the mandatory power ballad of "Can't Get Ya Off My Mind", and the best song of the album, "House of Rock And Roll". The ballad could have been better if only Pearce took off high on the chorus just like Sebastian Bach did with Skid Row's ballads, but at least the song is well-composed and the bonus acoustical rendition is also great. Couple of other songs that's worth a peek are "Don't Tear It Down", "Alive N Kickin", and "Trashed and Dirty".

If you're a fan of sleaze and 90s hard rock, "Cruel Intention" is a must buy. The band got the ballsy attitude, violent housewrecking songs, naughty voice, killer solos, a complete package. The sound production is very good and the original version has been remastered so you can get it on a cheaper price.

Bottom line: a maximum sleaze deal from the Swedish city rockers!
