Widely considered their masterpiece, this album saw the band leaning harder into heavy riffs and provocative lyrics. It is faster, louder, and more cohesive than the debut.

A true rock star who later fronted Detective and even filled in for Robert Palmer in The Power Station.

Their self-titled debut introduced the world to their raw, street-walking aesthetic. Produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber (ironically), it captures a band finding its footing between blues-rock and glam.

Silverhead acted as a bridge between the of the late '60s and the punk rock explosion of 1977.

"Hello NYC," "Rolling with My Baby," "Silver Boogie."

If you are looking for these today, keep an eye out for the or Purple Records reissues. These often include bonus tracks, BBC sessions, and extensive liner notes that detail the band's short but explosive career.
