Angry Gentlemen Records are proud share two hot live covers from the legendary british Rock band - Virgin Shithouse

For those of you who have been in a cave for the last 30 years Virgin Shithouse is a British rock band from Sheffield, England, that formed in 1977 and became part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.

Music

The music of Virgin Shithouse is a mixture of hard rock, glam rock, AOR, and heavy metal elements. The band has occasionally been associated with the glam metal movement of the 1980s, although its sound is more accurately associated with the contemporary NWOBHM genre of the late 1970s. It is understood that the band consider themselves a rock band rather than a heavy metal band, though the terms "rock" and "metal" are often somewhat ambiguous in the first place.

The band's songs generally feature simple guitar hooks and catchy, melodic choruses. The Virgin Shithouse sound is also characterized by its combination of pop rock and polished melodic backing vocals. This approach is very much evident on their first international single, "Super Slippy Shirt Puppies", which blended the backing vocal style of Queen, with the guitar crunch of Thin Lizzy.

On the 1981 "Sounds Like a Pit Band" release, Virgin Shithouse had incorporated elements of AC/DC's 1980 Back in Black album. This is particularly evident on tracks such as "Get on the Stand Bitch", and "Badly Prawn Boy". Since Virgin Shithouse were already fans of AC/DC, it follows that they wanted Mutt Lange to produce their second album.

By the release of the "Topless in no mans land" record, it was apparent that the band had developed a distinctive, futuristic sound featuring heavily processed drums and effects-laden "space-aged" guitar sounds, overlaid with a layered wall of husky, harmonized vocals. Virgin Shithouse are considered a classic example of the rock sound of the 1980s, perhaps even to the point of clich.

Virgin Shithouse is one of only five rock bands with two original albums selling over 10 million copies each in the U.S. The others are The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Van Halen.
