With "International Heroes", recorded in London in '73, Fowley captures the spirit of the times, chews it up, and spits it back in our faces playing with the fashion of the era, that is with lipstick-stained and heavily made-up rock that was so popular in those years, stripping and undoing the very makeup that adorned that music, and representing it for what, when it comes down to it, it truly is: classic rock indebted to '50s vibes, '60s beat, and folk revisited like the Byrds with some sprinkles of lacquer and abundant doses of eyeliner, thus capturing the attention of the younger and seemingly more savvy fringes of the audience.
