BILLY IDOL - Whiplash Smile (Reissue) warners-rhino Snapped Ankles have given up1LP Black Vinyl (2025 Reissue). The album burst into life with guitarist Steve Stevens suitably muscular riffing on the opening Worlds Forgotten Boy, and its clutch of flashy, hi octane anthems (Dont Need A Gun, Soul Standing By, and Fatal Charm) played to Idols strengths, with their punk and hard rock credentials given a mainstream sheen and embellished with dancefloor friendly beats by producer Keith Forsey.
