The Hollywood Stars will release their latest single, ‘If It Wasn’t For The Night’, on 26th July, through Golden Robot Records.
It’s an upbeat song with a 70s vibe about a lover who is doing fine after a break up. Everything looks rosy during the day, but when night comes, the mind goes back to the lost love.

A band with direct ties to musical acts as diverse as Little Richard, The Kinks, The Mamas & the Papas, The Electric Prunes, The Strawberry Alarm Clock, Alice Cooper, Kiss, Iggy Pop, The Runaways, The Flamin’ Groovies, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Steppenwolf, Meat Loaf and Blue Cheer, among others.
The band formed back in the 70s making a name for themselves on the LA scene but ultimately not making it big. Despite this their songs have been covers by the likes of Kiss and Alice Cooper, and Igg Pop stating on the record: “I didn’t used to like The Hollywood Stars, I used to like The New York Dolls. Then I heard The Hollywood Stars play ‘Satisfaction’. Now I wanna f**k ‘em.”
Having reformed in recent times, their popularity renewed, they released their album Live On The Sunset Strip in late 2021 via Golden Robot Records and followed it up with a brand-new singles in ‘The Bottom’, and ‘Will The Lights Go On Again?’ Both available digitally on all platforms.
