A stiff but smooth cocktail of nostalgia, big laughs, killer music, and endearing misfits. Served hot with the unifying power of comedy and rock. The future never looked so bright. Let me tell you about it.
Passion Roxx is an animated show about an L.A. glam metal band that gets frozen by punctured cans of Aqua Net Extra Super Hold in 1986 & transported through time to the present day. Featuring voice talent & music contributions from Nathan Utz, (LynchMob, Resist & Bite), Troy McLawhorn (Seether, Evanescence), Don Dokken, Stryper & more, this show is filled with all the big hair hype, political incorrectness, & makeup madness you'd expect from an 80's band! The future never looked so ROCKIN'!
Produced by John Compton / Nathan Utz / Troy McLawhorn / Michael Rogers

If you’re familiar with Steel Panther, then you already know subtlety left the building somewhere around the first hairspray explosion. This video cranks the dial past ridiculous into full-blown, spandex-stretching chaos—where every riff is louder, every lyric is naughtier (but somehow still clever), and every slow-motion hair flip deserves its own Oscar. It’s a glitter-soaked, tongue-in-cheek time warp back to the Sunset Strip, where ego is king, eyeliner is a lifestyle, and bad decisions are practically a band member. Equal parts parody and perfection, the whole thing feels like your wildest 80s rock fantasy got drunk, put on leopard print, and decided to headline anyway.
Co-written by Creator John Compton and Eric Hays from Behind the Haze, the song lives in the uneasy space between good and evil. It paints a world where perception is warped—and truth feels just out of reach. The song explores apocalyptic imagery, hinting at spiritual collapse rather than just worldly ruin, suggesting the danger isn’t coming—it’s already here. The song builds tension through atmosphere, feeling the weight of denial and moral compromise. The cadence feels metal-built, with a pulse-heavy groove that matches its urgency. NOTE: This song was recorded LIVE and Auto-Tune FREE!
This video gem is a sugar-rush, pop-laced rocker that sticks in your head like cheap hairspray in a wind tunnel—and honestly, you’d expect nothing less from a crew this dialed-in. These guys hit the stage more often than most people hit the laundry cycle—sometimes twice a day—and just like their wardrobe choices, everything’s tight, a little sweaty, and probably borrowed from somebody else. There’s a wink behind every lyric and a strut behind every beat, as frontman Taz swagger-brags about trying anything on “just to see how it fits,” turning the whole thing into a playful identity crisis wrapped in spandex. It’s cheeky, over-the-top, and knowingly ridiculous—the kind of video that doesn’t just break the fourth wall, it kicks it down, steals its pants, and struts off in them like it owns the place.
We're awakened, not to be mistaken for WOKE! Wake us when it's over, please.
