"With a name like Loverboy, these rebel-rousing rockers must be a product of the ‘80s. One of the most successful mainstream hard rock gigs of the early ‘80s, Loverboy took the cake with their smash single ""Working for the Weekend,"" yet the stable arena rockers continued pumping out rowdy hits long past the 1982 classic.Canadian badasses Mike Reno (vocals), Paul Dean (guitar), Scott Smith (bass), Doug Johnson (keyboards) and Matthew Frenette (drums) rendezvoused in Toronto in 1980 to form Loverboy, exhibiting a classic hard rock sound that immediately earned them a record deal with CBS Records. Bursting onto the ‘80s big hair band rock scene with their eponymously-titled debut album, Loverboy instantly won over Canadian and American crowds with hit singles ""Turn Me Loose"" and ""The Kid is Hot Tonite,"" turning Loverboy platinum in the U.S. and Canada. Getting lucky with their sophomore release Get Lucky in 1981, Loverboy enjoyed massive success with the album's single ""Working for the Weekend,"" a staple on every ‘80s playlist. Continuing on with the 1983 album Keep it Up, Loverboy enjoyed further success with the album's single ""Hot Girls in Love"" before the band cranked their sound up to hard rock notch.Straying away from mainstream bliss, Loverboy released 1985's Lovin' Every Minute of It, but to the dismay of the group, the rock-oriented album didn't fare as well as Loverboy's mainstream hits. Working with Tom Allom (Judas Priest), Loverboy took on a harder, edgier persona, but it wasn't all in their favor. 1987's Wildside and a two-year tour tried to make up for lost time, but Loverboy was seemingly a band of the past. In 1989, Reno and Dean announced their departures from Loverboy to pursue solo careers, but 10 years later Loverboy was back at the grind. 1998's Live, Loud and Loose put Loverboy back on the rock scene, but in 2000 Loverboy's luck ran out when bassist Smith drowned in a boating accident."
