Smashed Gladys were, for the lack of a better term, a sleaze rock band that formed in 1984. The band featured a female vocalist named Sally Cato, whose vocals are perfect for this record - not wimpy in the slightest. Another plus for Smashed Gladys - no sappy keyboard AOR friendly rock, just party time, turn off your brain rock and roll. No medieval themes, no dragons, witches or wizards, just a SLIGHT pension for sexually charged lyrics. And when I say slight, I mean over the top!
Songs titles like "Lick It Into Shape", "Play Dirty", "Legs Up", "Dive In The Dark", Hard To Swallow"...You get the point.

It seems Ozzy Osbourne provided backing vocals for their song "Cast of Nasties".
