Yet for some reason The Boys occupy a neglected position in relation to London's early Punk scene, probably because they weren't clothed by Sex or managed by Malcolm McLaren. Being tagged the "Punk Beatles" couldn't have helped either, and by '81 they called it quits.
Plagued by mishaps, bad timing and plain bad luck they managed to keep smiling and come up with corking, hyper-speed pop classics like "Brickfield Nights" and "Rue Morgue". In short The Boys were a gem of a band and a total inspiration to any Punk band who value tunes over noise.
There are others artists with the same name:
2) Jheryl Busby signed the Abdulsamad Brothers, better known as the Boys, while employed at MCA Records. "The Boys" Khiry (born November 8, 1973), Tajh (born December 10, 1976), Hakim (born March 27, 1975), and Bilal Abdulsamad (born April 17, 1978) started singing in their hometown of Carson, CA, when Bilal was five and Khiry nine. They are best known for their 1988 hit single "Dial My Heart". Today, they live in Gambia on the West Coast of Africa
3) The Boys. Australia (1980), Made "When You're Lonely" 7" a nice new wave/power pop single.
4) The Boys were a Lincoln, Nebraska band power pop group. They put out three singles including "She's All Mine" (1975) and "You Make Me Shake" (1977).
5) The Boys was a powerpop group from Sweden.

Ace keeps getting better. Rock on.

I'm rocking with the fired boys 🎶🎸
Red Robin
@Gary Hill no shit. Hes the man and earned his spot in RnR after even though he was the true talent in Kiss and carried the shows playing guitar. Imagine how bad they would have sounded. Gene mediocre at best on bass and Peter was not tje best drummer but he played with heart
Gary Hill
Ace wrote this song originally in the 70's. So the boys he was originally talking about were Kiss. But it doesn't really matter it's about being in a band and being on the road. I don't understand the Ace bashers. The guy can have anybody he wants to in his band, it's his band. Lots of rockers and metalheads love Dio. He fired his whole band right before he recorded Lock Up the Wolves. It was viewed as a creative choice, and I don't remember a bunch of whiny babies crying about that?
Prophet
This made me laugh because it's true.
VENDETTA
Music business, not music friends.

Brandon, thanks for the response. I saw an interview Ace did very recently in New York. He could barely hold his mic steady. He looked fried and sounded fried.
