Brutal Planet Records proudly unleashes If It Ain't Broke, Break It! By Starwood on vinyl for the first time ever-a bold revival of an album born from both legacy and reinvention. After the tragic passing of guitarist Alex Nelson, long-running heavy metal/shock rock band Lizzy Borden broke up in 2004. In the wake of this split, vocalist Lizzy Borden, bassist Marten Andersson, and drummer Joey Scott formed a new project, joined by guitarist Joe Steals, which led to the creation of Starwood. Their only release, 2004's If It Ain't Broke, Break It! #on Metal Blade Records, marked a departure from Lizzy Borden's theatrical metal, embracing the raw spirit of glam, punk, and hard rock. Starwood's sound captures the streetwise edge of bands like Hanoi Rocks and New York Dolls, with punk's grit and the showmanship of Kiss and Motley Cre. Their songs are built on unpolished, anthemic riffs and catchy hooks, echoing the infectious charm of Cheap Trick, but with an untamed energy all their own. This vinyl reissue, pressed on eye-catching Starbright Yellow and remastered by Rob Colwell (Voivod, Helstar, Flotsam & Jetsam), is limited to just 300 copies and includes a 12x12 full-color insert. With If It Ain't Broke, Break It!, Starwood crafted an album that was both a tribute to classic rock rebellion and a fresh, audacious new sound. Whether you're a fan of glam's golden era or the harder edge of punk-inspired rock, this release offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of music history that's unapologetically raw and full of attitude.

In the late 80s, King's X had just launched their now-iconic Sam Taylor-produced debut album Out of the Silent Planet (1988), ushering in what would soon become known as the "Houston sound." This sound was a unique blend of progressive metal, groove, rock, and rich harmonies. Around the same time, another band began making waves: The Awful Truth. They had recorded their debut album for mainstream Metal Blade Records but sadly broke up before it even came out. By the time the album was released in 1989, two-thirds of The Awful Truth had formed a new band with two other members, the now-legendary Galactic Cowboys, further defining that groovy-metallic Houston Sound. Although signed to the infamous Metal Blade Records (known for releasing albums by Slayer, Fates Warning, Voivod, etc.), The Awful Truth's eponymous album featured poetic lyrics expressing a sincere faith. A key example is "Ghost of Heaven": High above the highest star Songs of You the angels sing Only You could fill my heart Only You could bring me where You are Ghost of Heaven, hear my plea Holy voice, won't you speak to me? Most of the material was written by David von Ohlerking and is adventurous, though more in a traditional progressive context, not foreshadowing the unpredictable style of the Galactic Cowboys. The one track with shared writing credits is Drowning Man, where you can definitely hear the chugging riffs and rhythms that would characterize Monty Colvin and Alan Doss' next project. The distinctive guitar sound, overdriven/mid-rangey bass tones, and oblique Christian imagery in the lyrics are reminiscent of the first four King's X records, but The Awful Truth ventures into heavier and more progressive territory. The epic Should Have Known All Along might even be mistaken for a lost King's X song, especially with the way Ohlerking's vocals break at the end, sounding very Dug Pinnick-like. The end result is a stone-cold classic in every way. The 2024 Brutal Planet Records reissue has been completely remastered by Rob Colwell (Nevermore, Flotsam & Jetsam, King's X, Poundhound, Voivod, etc.) and it sounds better than ever! Collector's are treated to Orange Crush Heavy-weight Vinyl and a 12x12 full color lyrics insert featuring band photos. This limited edition of just 300 Vinyl units is a must-have. Grab this slab of progressive hard rock brilliance while you can!
