June 4, 2015, 9 years ago
Los Angeles rockers Bulletboys are back on the radar with their new album, Elefante' and on Friday, June 12th at 9;10pm EST, vocalist Marq Torien will check into Matt O'Shaughnessy's WVOX Metal Mayhem show in New York to discuss the album and more, including three hard rocking decades of Bulletboys madness. Bulletboys issued their first bombastic album in 1988 and now fans and listeners can call/hear Torien at WVOX.com and 1460 AM locally.
The Bulletboys are back and ready to tear the house down with their new release Elefante, due June 9th via Cleopatra/Deadline Records. The band are streaming the new track, “Symphony”, at their official website.
Singer Marq Torien comments, “Can't wait for our fans to hear this album. I put my heart and soul into this music. This album has sick peaks and valleys... it is not a linear album. A straight out labor of love that I've dedicated to my amazing father, all of our Families and our unfaltering Bulletboys fans and friends.”
The band consists of founding member Marq Torien (vocals, lead guitar), Nick Rozz (guitar), Chad MacDonald (bass) and Shawn Duncan (drums). All members pouring their heart and soul into the group’s first album of original material since 2009. Elefante was produced by Matt Thorne (Trapt, Disturbed), Marq Torien and engineered by Ryan Greene (Alice Cooper, Lita Ford, Cheap Trick). Anthony Focx (Aerosmith, Buckcherry) mastered this new work of art.
“Working with the Bulletboys was an amazing experience,” explains Ryan Greene. “Most singers, from back in the '80s were pretty good, but I will tell you Marq knocked it out of the park on this record. His power and passion was second to none and he can sing in tune! No auto-tune needed, he's the real freak’n deal. If you think for a second this is going to be some rehashed '80s record you are completely wrong!”Tracklisting:
"Rollover""Tsunami"
"Symphony"
"The Villain"
"Kin Folk"
"Saving You From Me"
"As Dumb As"
"Superhuman Girl"
"Drop Your Weapon"
"Bitch Is Back"
"Elefanté"
The Bulletboys are best known for their self-titled album, Bulletboys, in 1988 on Warner Bros. Records, releasing two major hits “Smooth Up In Ya” and a remake of the O’Jays “For The Love Of Money”.

The Bulletboys will be embarking as the headlining act on a three month summer tour. “Feel like I'm gonna jump out my skin... can't wait to take this on the road with the fellas! All year! Hell yeah, let's do this,” says Marq Torien.
