Steel Panther

Mixing music and comedy and managing to transcend one-hit-wonder territory is uncommon; making it a long-term career is rare indeed. The glam metal parodists Steel Panther have turned the trick by nailing the scuzz-adjacent partyboy vibe of 1980s hair warriors, delivering catchy musical gloryholes and appropriately over the top lyrical flights of fancy. (Sure, you could be offended by many songs in their scatalog, but that’s missing the point…at least, somewhat.) With The Violent Hour.
