According to a press release from Cleopatra Records, the BulletBoys have demonstrated persistence and have maintained a devoted fan base over their nearly 40-year career. Despite challenges such as lineup changes and breakups, the band continues to be a vital part of the modern hard rock scene. Their ongoing success is attributed not only to their music but also to qualities such as strength, courage, empathy, love, talent, and humor, as described by Torien.
Each album in this collection reflects these attributes. “Acid Monkey” captures the raw energy of the band’s roots in Southern California’s punk and hard rock scene. “Sophie” features a dynamic cover of The Kinks’ “All Day and All of the Night” and a collaboration with Sebastian Bach on the single “Neighborhood.” The live album “Behind The Orange Curtain” showcases an electrifying performance at the Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana. “10¢ Billionaire” is noted for being one of the band’s heaviest and most personal works, created during Torien’s difficult divorce. The collection is rounded out with a “Greatest Hits” album that underscores the band’s enduring influence.
In addition to the box set, BulletBoys are preparing to release a new album, their first since 2015’s “Elefanté,” and will embark on a US tour this summer. For the first time, “10¢ Billionaire,” “Acid Monkey,” and the live album will be available on vinyl, along with the release of their covers collection “Rocked and Ripped” and a tribute to Torien’s time with King Kobra.
Marq Torien expresses his excitement for the box set, calling it a “labor of love” for fans, friends, and family worldwide. He extends his gratitude to Cleopatra Records for their efforts in bringing this project to fruition and encourages everyone to enjoy the collection.
