About this album

Queens Of Noise is The Runaways at their most direct and aggressive, sharpening the band’s glam-ribbed hard rock into a tougher, louder statement. Released in 1977, it built on the group’s reputation as teenage upstarts with a swaggering, confrontational edge, driven by wiry guitar riffs and Joan Jett’s commanding presence. The album’s title track and songs like I Love Playin' with Fire and Neon Angels on the Road to Ruin helped define the band’s rebellious image while underlining their importance as one of the first all-female hard rock bands to break through internationally. Its raw energy remains a key part of punk and proto-metal history.
