With Big Star being one of the bleeding edge power pop poppas in 1971, and the Only Ones, Cheap Trick, Shoes, Raspberries and heck even The Romantics starting back 1974, The Cars, who were popular but criticized for biting The Only Ones, Shoes, etc. debuted in 1976. Helmetboy appears to have arrived a little late to the power pop party to be taken very seriously, possibly thrown together to cash in on the success of The Knack. That doesn't mean it isn't good, it just wasn't breaking new ground and people back then had to believe that everything they liked was revolutionary and new, or the most technically excellent yet mainstream enough to cause a fuss... you can ask Patrick Bateman about that crap, I don't get it.<br /><br />My best friend from Junior High and I became ironically obsessed with Helmetboy once upon a time, after picking up a promo copy in a 75 cent bin. We even shot a few scenes on my friend's movie camera, trying to unearth the mysteries of Helmet Boy. I think we even called one of their moms, using the promo materials to track down their roots... not the guy who ended up singing for Styx. She said that they were still out in Los Angeles, playing for the labels. They probably all have tattoos now and wear Ed Hardy, dressing and acting like Steve Vai, like all the rest of the session musicians do.<br /><br /> "Backed into a corner at the scene of the crime.
