Too Wild to Tame: The Story of the Boyzz
Author: Pete Berwick
In the late 1970s, Chicago was fertile ground as record labels fell over themselves in the rush to sign new rock acts, like how Seattle became a decade later. Local rock fans rooting for their hometown heroes couldn't go a few days without watching one of their favorite bands from Illinois, the heart of the Midwest, get signed to a deal: Survivor, Cheap Trick, Starcastle, Gambler, Trillion, Hounds, Pezband, Off Broadway, and Tantrum, to name a few.

And then came The Boyzz, the only band from the bunch that truly mattered. This is their story-buckle up!
