"Heads Are Rolling" was sadly the second last release by England's City Boy in 1980. The basic formula of City Boy was still intact on this album with clever art-rock stylings, power-pop melodies and tons of excellent vocal harmonies. There is a slight 80's edge and tone to this album on a couple of songs as well but nothing to be concerned about...mostly in the keyboard sounds.
The most memorable songs for me on this album are "change in the weather" with its catchy chorus and excellent guitar, keys and vocals and the Styx-inspired song "Domino".
I will never know how City Boy didnt become huge really....with so many great albums but that is another story.
City Boy were Max Thomas (keys), Mike Slamer (guitars, bass), Roy Ward (drums) and Lead Vocalist Lol Mason.
