Brats was the first band to feature the mighty guitar duo of Hank Shermann and Michael Denner, who would later become part of the legendary Mercyful Fate in the early 80’s. This band started out in 1978 as a straight punk band, then broke up and reformed with a quite different lineup (only Shermann remained from the original group) and a modified musical direction. They recorded one album in 1980, then promptly broke up, as the album didn’t fare well and CBS terminated their contract. The album was clearly influenced by hard and heavy metal, when the punk era was on it’s last years but it has nothing in common with MF and is only occasionally metallic, as it’s really more of a loose, punky hard rock album.
