From Loudersound.
Rock’n’roll legend and former Hanoi Rocks mainman Michael Monroe has announced details of his upcoming album. One Man Gang, the follow-up to 2015’s Blackout States, will be released on October 18.
The album was recorded and mixed by Petri Majuri at E-Studio in Sipoo, Finland, in March last year, and features a guest appearance by The Dammed’s Captain Sensible on the album’s 1000mph title track.
“It sometimes seems like everybody’s pissing on their own parade,” says Monroe of the song, “whether that’s voting stupid people into power and then complaining about them or whatever, but I’m all about living with a P.M.A. – positive mental attitude – and I’ll never allow myself to be forced away from that.”
Michael Monroe is also undergoing a European tour in October and November this year, with a pair of Japanese dates at the Summer Sonic Festival in Tokyo alongside Red Hot Chili Peppers, Babymetal, Weezer, The Struts and many more.
“In the 80s, Hanoi Rocks had a very special relationship with Japan,” says Monroe, “and it will always be one of my favourite countries.
“Plus, they still live for rock‘n’roll as it should be celebrated, they still have physical product, they still make it crazy, exhausting and really exciting every time you go there, which I am really grateful for.
“I don’t dress any different on or off stage because this is who I am… this is the real me.”
