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.
