Which is why their new single, “Last Runaway,” is so goddamned disappointing. This sounds like an okay-version of a song which might have appeared on an early-90s Bon Jovi album. And I love early-90s Bon Jovi — I sincerely do! — but that’s not what I’m looking for in my W.A.S.P. Pardon the pun, but: I want W.A.S.P. to sting. This sounds like W.A.S.P. might actually stand for “White Anglo-Saxon Protestants.”

Listen to “Last Runaway” below (courtesy of UltimateClassicRock.com, not to be confused with SecondaryClassicRock.comand then go to J. Crew to buy a Salmon shirt, you pussy. W.A.S.P.’s new album, Golgotha, comes out October 9 on Napalm. Chris Holmes is not on it.
