BLUE BOY was formed in early 1981 as a cover band playing mostly IRON MAIDEN and SAXON covers. Jan and Kenth had previously played in the well-known Swedish punk band ARABENS ANUS. Lars and Freddy had played together in YOKUN. They got their name BLUE BOY from the american gay-magazine with the same name and in the very beginning they all played under alias: Steve Homo, Nick Gay, Freddy Gaypimp och Ralph MacFikus. This wasn't anything agains homosexual's it was just a fun thing as the leather-culture had become so popular in metal-scene at this point. They loved what they did and took it very seriously. Their songs where also a tribute to the bands they admired; Saxon, Rainbow, Iron Maiden, Manowar, Tank, Judas Priest, Sabbath, Riot etc.
In early 1981 Freddy and Jan began writing their own songs such as "Beast of prey", "Hell Of A Night", "The Summons" etc. They did their live debut in February -81 at a little rock club in their hometown Kristinehamn. 250 headbangers where there to see them and they became totally run over by the band.
BLUE BOY'S music is fast yet polished metal, the songs contain a lot of guitars and loops and the choruses are often very melodic, "Taste of Victory" is a fateful song in the quiet pace, perhaps Sweden's first metal symphony?, "Flash In The Night" and "The summons" is energic songs with ripping, catchy guitars, "Live or Die", got grinding bass and ripping guitars.
