BRITNY FOX – Boys In Heat [Rock Candy Remastered & Reloaded] (2021) *0dayrox Exclusive*

One of the most amazing rocking albums from the terrific 1989 years is without a doubt “Boys In Heat“, the Philadelphia glam metal gods BRITNY FOX sophomore opus. Now it has been reissued by Rock Candy Records specialists with a fully remastered audio.
After their hard rocking debut, the band added a much higher dose of melody to this second effort plus an extremely polished sound production according to the era, courtesy of the expertise hands of master Neil Kernon. It’s a more mature Britny Fox, with that ‘big sounding’ acoustic guitars / clean electrics into the mix, a bombastic rhythm section and oversized vocals / choruses.

The melodic drive of each song on “Boys In Heat” never ceases from the opening track “In Motion”. This album epitomizes the Hair Metal / US Melodic Hard Rock on every track, a feel-good record from start to end.
Dizzy Dean’s powerhouse vocals are clean and more melodious, while Michael Kelly Smith on lead guitar is as cool as they come, his guitar licks are impressive on “Boys In Heat”. The album does not lack in the powered up lead and solo department thanks to him.

“Standing in the Shadows” and “Angel in My Heart” are really catchy singles reminiscent of the first album, and “Dream On” is one of the few power ballads from that time that manages to avoid sounding like Poison’s Every Rose Has Its Thorn.
“She’s So Lonely” and “Left Me Stray” are perhaps the cuts that more retain the hair metal party, while the cover of Nazareth’s classic “Hair of the Dog” is a nice touch, rockin’ and rollin’.

“Boys In Heat” showcases a more ‘polished’ side of Britny Fox, still including some fierce hard rockers. It’s a hugely produced record with that kind of big sound from the end of the ’80s factory.
One of the last true glam / hair metal albums recorded in the golden days of the genre.
