STEEL PANTHER US
The self-awareness is genuine, as is the song quality. Yes, the two can be combine. Steel Panther, the hair metal comedy kings, do it very succesfully. From their first album "Feel the steel" (2009) to their sixth and most recent "On the prowl" (2023) goes a straight, consistent line of countless modern party classics: "Community property", "Death to all but metal", "Party all day", "Gloryhole" and "Never too late", to name but a few. It's provocative, it's right on the money, it's well-played - and they who experience it live get one heck of a show to boot.
