The new MICHAEL MONROE album “Blackout States” will be released on October 9th 2015.
Michael will be hitting the road this autumn for a co-headlining tour with Sweden’s sleazy rockers Hardcore Superstar and he will also play some very special UK shows with Alice Cooper. [Dates below]
The Michael Monroe band features bassist Sami Yaffa (from Hanoi Rocks, New York Dolls), guitarists Steve Conte (New York Dolls, Willy DeVille) & Rich Jones (The Black Halos, Amen) and drummer Karl “Rockfist” Rosqvist (from the Chelsea Smiles, Danzig).
Of the new album, the legendary glam punk vocalist had this to say:
“I’m extremely excited about our new album, ‘Blackout States’. It has all the ingredients of a perfect rock ‘n’ roll record – strong melodic songs with great meaningful lyrics that defy all clichés, delivered with a punky, ballsy attitude by a killer band…”
“ I highly recommend ‘Blackout States’ to anyone who’s even a little bit interested in what real, authentic, high energy rock ‘n’ roll at its best sounds like today…”
