Make & Model: Adam And The Ants - Kings Of The Wild Frontier - Vinyl & CD album combination
Description: Kings of the Wild Frontier is the second album from iconic
early 80’s group, Adam and the Ants. The album was released in 1980 and
typified the post-punk, ‘New Wave’ sound of the time.
The album
was co-written by Adam Ant and Marco Pirroni (ex-Siouxsie and the
Banshees), and was performed with a totally different backing band to
that found on the Ants’ first record, Dirk Wears White Sox. The
new line-up also consisted of two drummers which, alongside Pirroni’s
new guitar sound, helped add to the mainstream success of the record.
The
album went to the top of the UK album charts on January 24th, 1981, and
propelled the band to the forefront of the ‘New Romantic’ movement. In
1982, after Kings of the Wild Frontier became 1981’s
best-selling album, it won 'Best British Album’ at the Brit Awards; but
just months later the band would split up.
Kings of the Wild Frontier spawned the hit singles, ‘Kings of the Wild Frontier’, ‘Dog Eat Dog’ and the classic, ‘Ant Music’.
