Atomic Playboys is the first studio album by guitarist Steve Stevens, released in 1989 through Warner Bros. Records;[1] a remastered edition containing two bonus tracks was reissued on August 5, 2013 through Rock Candy Records.[2] The album reached No. 119 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart.[3] The cover art was done by surrealist artist H.R. Giger, who designed the Xenomorph creature in the Alien film series.
Atomic Playboys was also the name of Stevens' band at the time, which was only meant to be a one-album effort upon him being signed to Warner Bros. In a 2001 interview, when asked about the possibly of reforming the group, Stevens replied: "Absolutely not. That group was a very expensive hobby".[4]
