"Lights Out on the Playground" is the debut album by the American hard rock band Baton Rouge. Released in 1990, the album features a mix of melodic hard rock and glam metal. Baton Rouge was part of the wave of hard rock bands that emerged in the late '80s and early '90s, following in the footsteps of bands like Poison, Bon Jovi, and Def Leppard. The band was formed in 1986 in Louisiana, and they initially gained attention for their energetic performances and radio-friendly hard rock sound. Compared to some of their contemporaries, Baton Rouge had a slightly more mature, polished sound, mixing hard rock with strong melodies, catchy choruses, and a clean production. The band's lineup for "Lights Out on the Playground" featured Kelly Keeling (vocals), Lance Bulen (guitar), Bryan Scott (bass), and Corky McClellan (drums).
