Kings of the Wild Frontier
Kings of the Wild Frontier is a
New Wave-
punk album by
Adam & the Ants, released in
1980 (see
1980 in music). After having his previous backing band wooed away by
producer Malcolm McLaren, who used them to form
Bow Wow Wow, Adam Ant recorded
Kings of the Wild Frontier with
guitarist Marco Pirroni. In spite of the difficulties with the recording,
Kings of the Wild Frontier has become acknowledged as a classic of artsy
pop-oriented
post punk rock.
