American glam metal band formed in 1982 in St. Petersburg, Florida formed  by vocalist Kevin Steele and guitarist Eric Carrell.  What we have here is your typical glam metal output - Several good tracks (Scratch My Back, Race With The Devil) and an assortment of other typical glam sexual fodder, Need Your Sex and Fastest Gun In Town.  What's strange, however, is that original guitarist Eric Carrell died a mysterious death.

Was The Guitarist From Roxx Gang Murdered? - Singer Kevin Steele Gives His Thoughts

 

Scratch My Back and half the songs on the first album were written by me and a guitar player that's not even on the first album, his name was Eric Carrell and he died right before we got signed and it was weird circumstances.  Man, this cat was my best friend, he was like a brother, he was my glimmer twin you know and uh we lived down here in Florida.  Eric had a van and he was a fisherman, he'd go fishing  he'd you know, he'd have drinks from Jack Daniels and a few lines of coke, smoke some weed: he'd be out on a bridge trying to catch a snook right.  Well one night he was out on a on a bridge with somebody who he owed a lot of money to for coke and he, uh, nobody knows what happened, but apparently they say he fell off the bridge and he broke his neck.
