New Album HORNS AND HALOS Out August 27 on Spinefarm Records

Tuesday, August 27, all-around rock ‘n’ roll legend MICHAEL MONROE, will release HORNS AND HALOS, the follow-up to the 2011 critically acclaimed Sensory Overdrive, winner of Classic Rock Magazine’s “Album Of The Year” and a No. 1 record in MONROE‘s Finnish homeland. The album’s first single, “Ballad Of The Lower East Side,” was released earlier this spring and is a nod to MICHAEL‘s early days in New York, a city where he moved for a decade following the mid-’80s breakup of glam-punk pioneers Hanoi Rocks (for which he was the frontman. Today, Friday, August 23, MICHAEL MONROE returns to New York for the album pre-release listening party at The Bowery Electric hosted by bassist SAMI YAFFA.

On August 20, the second single “Eighteen Angels” premiered on NOISECREEP showcasing MICHAEL as a badass harmonica player amidst his classic rock vocals and instrumentals. In an exclusive interview with Noisecreep MONROE says, ‘Eighteen Angels’ is one of my favorite songs off the new album, it has a great groove and it really shows how this band has welded into a tight unit over the past couple of years.” HORNS AND HALOS is a cosmopolitan affair, mixed by Petri Majuri at Seawolf Studios in Finland and written and recorded around the world by MONROE‘s international posse— bassist SAMI YAFFA (Hanoi Rocks, New York dolls), guitarist STEVE CONTE (New York Dolls, Company Of Wolves), drummer KARL “Rockfist” ROSQVIST (Chelsea Smiles, Danzig) and Swedish guitar star DREGEN (Backyard Babies).  MONROE is a frontman whose reputation is genuinely global and whose influence continues to be felt, with musicians of all ages (from Dave Grohl to the original Guns N’ Roses members) citing his groundbreaking career as a source of inspiration.
