Search - Quireboys :: Well Oiled

After a quick name change from The Queerboys and copping the glowing rock and roll spirit of The Faces/Rod Stewart/70s Rolling Stones, London?s Quireboys (previously known as London Quireboys on this side of the pond) wasted no time conquering the U.K. Their debut album, the massively successful A Bit Of What You Fancy, yielded four huge selling singles (7 O?Clock, Hey You, I Don?t Love You Anymore and There She Goes Again) seemingly everywhere but in the U.S. Following being picked up by Sharon Osbourne?s management and getting ready to conquer The States, the Quireboys soon found their thunder and lightening stolen by the sudden rise of the similar stanced Black Crowes. Following the live release of their tumultuous appearance at the 1990 Castle Donnington Festival, the Quireboys finally released their 1993 Bob Rock produced second studio album, Bitter Sweet & Twisted and, just as fast as fame had smacked into them headlong, the Quireboys disintegrated following a European tour. Thankfully for all of us, the story does not end there. In 2001 a newly re-vamped and inspired Quireboys returned with a new album, This Is Rock ?n? Roll. Another live album later appeared, following a tour with Alice Cooper on the 2002 Monsters Of Rock Tour. Which brings us to Well Oiled: ten new songs of The Quireboys at their best, clearly confirming their place as one of the finest pure rock & roll bands on the planet.
