candy harlots

candy harlots were an australian glam metal band from sydney , active between 1987 and 1995 .
they also released material as helter skelter and the harlots .
their musical style is commonly described as sleaze rock , and according to rock music historian ian mcfarlane they were , `` an unashamedly macho , decadent lot , with a black leathers 'n' chains and gutter-rock image played out over an entertaining brand of hard-edged rock 'n' roll . ''
they enjoyed top 20 chart success with their march 1992 ep `` foreplay '' on the australian recording industry association -lrb- aria -rrb- singles chart and obtained a top 40 chart position with their sole full-length album `` five wicked ways '' in may 1992 .
