Mama's Boys --- Plug it in

One of THE most underrated and overlooked heavy rock albums of the 1980s, the official debut from three brothers from Country Fermanagh in Northern Ireland hit the shelves in 1982, after their "Offical Bootleg" demo had been doing the rounds for a year or so, and on the back of a support slot for Hawkwind. Mama's Boys never made it big, but are still revered by rockers in Ireland as almost the poor man's Thin Lizzy. Sadly, the youngest brother, Tommy, died of leukemia in 1994, a blow the other two siblings never got over. They officially disbanded after that but they both continued on in the music biz separately.
