In the late ‘80s, when rock ‘n’ roll was drowning in hairspray and excess, Spread Eagle crashed the party like a steel-toed boot to the face. These guys weren’t just another glam band—they were the leather-clad, gutter-born antidote to the genre’s pretty-boy polish. While glam bands were busy primping, these NYC bruisers were cranking out raw, razor-sharp street metal that sounded like it crawled out of a back alley with a switchblade and a bad attitude.
In this episode, we dive into the band’s criminally underrated legacy. Were they too gritty for the glam crowd? Too sleazy for grunge? Or just the right band at the wrong time? Either way, Spread Eagle proved that sleaze metal wasn’t all lipstick and lace—it had teeth.
