After the Dead Boys, American punk legend Stiv Bators embarked on a fascinating musical journey, trading vicious punk rock for the bright, melodic energy of 60s-inspired power pop. Pop Goes The Weasel, released on Munster Records as part of the Bomp! 50th Anniversary celebration, captures this compelling chapter of Bators' career through a carefully assembled compilation of alternative takes, b-sides, and live recordings from his solo era.
This release is a treasure trove for fans of Bators and the Dead Boys, featuring guest appearances by Jimmy Zero and Johnny Blitz that add an extra layer of history to the collection. The included booklet — featuring extensive liner notes by band member Frank Secich alongside rare photos — makes this an immersive look at a criminally underappreciated period of one of punk's most iconic figures.
