Brutal Planet Records proudly unleashes If It Ain't Broke, Break It! By Starwood on vinyl for the first time ever-a bold revival of an album born from both legacy and reinvention. After the tragic passing of guitarist Alex Nelson, long-running heavy metal/shock rock band Lizzy Borden broke up in 2004. In the wake of this split, vocalist Lizzy Borden, bassist Marten Andersson, and drummer Joey Scott formed a new project, joined by guitarist Joe Steals, which led to the creation of Starwood.Their only release, 2004's If It Ain't Broke, Break It! #on Metal Blade Records, marked a departure from Lizzy Borden's theatrical metal, embracing the raw spirit of glam, punk, and hard rock. Starwood's sound captures the streetwise edge of bands like Hanoi Rocks and New York Dolls, with punk's grit and the showmanship of Kiss and Motley Crüe. Their songs are built on unpolished, anthemic riffs and catchy hooks, echoing the infectious charm of Cheap Trick, but with an untamed energy all their own.This vinyl reissue, pressed on eye-catching Starbright Yellow and remastered by Rob Colwell (Voivod, Helstar, Flotsam & Jetsam), is limited to just 300 copies and includes a 12x12 full-color insert. With If It Ain't Broke, Break It!, Starwood crafted an album that was both a tribute to classic rock rebellion and a fresh, audacious new sound. Whether you're a fan of glam's golden era or the harder edge of punk-inspired rock, this release offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of music history that's unapologetically raw and full of attitude.
