Michael Monroe - Horns And Halos

Michael Monroe's new album 'Horns And Halos' out in August. The new single 'Ballad Of The Lower East Side' out now.




From Blabbermouth:

"Now after several months, the wait is over. Michael Monroe can finally reveal that the band's upcoming studio album, "Horns And Halos", will hit stores everywhere on August 27, 2013 via Spinefarm Records. The band offers a taste of the new album in the form of a new single and video for the track "Ballad Of The Lower East Side", which can be watched now below. The track includes a nod to Michael's early days in New York, a city he moved to for a decade following the mid-'80s break up of glam punk pioneers HANOI ROCKS. The clip — directed by celebrated videographer/photographer Ville Juurikkala, who has photographed Michael for the past 10 years as well as working with LINKIN PARK, GOOD CHARLOTTE and HIM, among others — features archive footage and photos of Michael in prime Big Apple mode, interlaced with current live and backstage scenes.

"The song 'Ballad Of The Lower East Side' is about New York and especially the Lower East Side — what it was way back in the days when I lived there, how times have changed and how it is nowadays," states Monroe. "New York has always been an important city to me since I lived there for 10 years. Two members of our band still live there. It's the City of all Cities."

Great! Another to add to my ever growing (and as of right now, unable to shrink) wantlist for the year .

Michael has put out some great albums since Hanoi Rocks. This sounds like another great one. He seems like a nice guy from what I have seen on TV.

And he's now got the guitarist from Backyard Babies in the band.  I'm all over this!

the single sounds good!

That's actually pretty great! Hanoi were always a cut above in my book (and always bring back memories of a really cute little glam rocker called Mimi! )

Good to see that Michael is growing old disgracefully and hasn't lost the mockney accent.
