LOSTBOYS was founded in the late ’80s by charismatic lead vocalist Randy O. right after he left cult metal band Odin. They were one of the most memorable groups from the also cult film ”The Decline Of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years” (1988). For whatever reason, Odin couldn’t score a record deal despite their popularity in the LA scene.

After record company pressures and other tensions, Twisted Sister disbanded in 1987 with Dee wasting no time in writing material for his solo career. Beginning things with Desperado, Snider branched out into more of a blues-rock direction, and wrote an album of material for another project, WIDOWMAKER, which had a bit more allegiance to the late 80s Sister sound, but a bit heavier.
