Outerstellar Shinola Michael Monroe: Shinola ‘Shinola’ was obviously originally written about a certain jerk but unfortunately most of us can relate as we know a lot of them,” comments Monroe. “There’s a lot of negative, ignorant idiots in the world and sometimes it’s good to vent frustrations by singing about it. And karma always gets us in the end anyway!” The former Hanoi Rocks frontman will release his twelfth studio album, “Outerstellar,” on February 20th. Monroe’s most recent album, “I Live Too Fast To Die Young,” arrived in 2022.

Peace In Place Everything Hurts Poison The Well: Everything Hurts The track is from “Peace In Place,“ the band’s first new album since 2009, on March 20th.  “‘Peace In Place’ is probably the most pissed record we’ve ever made. After stepping away from Poison The Well, it felt like all the emotion from that time — frustration, heartache, disappointment — compressed into something heavy and unavoidable,” states vocalist Jeffrey Moreira. “But anger isn’t what drives us. Connection is. Sometimes that connection starts in darker places, and having an outlet for those emotions is how we find our way forward. This record lives across that entire spectrum. It’s about turning something negative into something honest, putting it into the world, and realizing that even in anger, we’re still capable of moving forward, relating to each other, and finding some form of peace — if not happiness, then at least a place to stand.” Moreira. concludes saying, “I’m grateful to do this again with my friends.” Birth To Death Power To Live Sun Dont Shine: Power To Live  “The track is a challenge to the times we’re living in,” Sun Dont Shine explains, “an insistence on survival and consciousness in the face of cycles that refuse to break.” “Power To Live” was written by guitarist/vocalist Kenny Hickey and guitarist/vocalist Kirk Windstein and recorded last year with producer Duane Simoneaux and co-producer Vinnie LaBella. In addition to Hickey and Windstein, Sun Dont Shine (formerly Eye Am) has bassist Todd Strange and drummer Johnny Kelly.
