Artist History
The Stiletto Boys formed in late 1994, playing clubs in Philadelphia, Lancaster, Harrisburg, Baltimore, DC, and New York. The band captured the interest of several indie labels immediately with their refreshing brand of wild rock'n'roll antics mixed with sugary pop melodies. The first Stiletto Boys single on Zodiac Records, "8-Track", was hailed as an absolute underground smash, gaining much air play on college radio stations nationwide. Two more singles followed, which also brought rave reviews. Intrigued by the buzz surrounding the band, High Society International (Germany) offered the Stiletto Boys a record deal. "Rockets and Bombs", their debut album was released on both LP and CD and was distributed worldwide. So far the band has sold over 4000 units around the globe. Future plans include a full U.S. tour and a possible European tour as well. They are already hard at work writing new material for a third album.

Press Reviews
"STILETTO BOYS are a super tight, killer cool bunch of guys playing earnestly and fiercely, the type of quality music you don't find these days. It's melodic like the BUZZCOCKS, cynical like the ADVERTS, and catchier than a case of the clap in a Southeast Asian whorehouse."..."Stiletto boys are punk rock at its finest... they possess the kind of infectious, bouncy, toe-tapping energy most bands would kill for. Take the Dead Boys/Heartbreakers punk rocknroll fury and inject it with classic power pop melodic energy... that's what you get with the Stiletto Boys" JOSH RUTLEDGE NOW WAVE MAGAZI |
