Michael Monroe's new album OUTERSTELLAR is out now via Silver Lining Music.
‘What ‘genre’ is Michael Monroe?’ Oh, go and throw yourself back into the shoebox you restrict yourself to if you need a genre… How about ‘sweet smelling leathery sweat wrapped in one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll voices?’ How about ‘harmonies and vibes swimming in silk scarves and lounging on a beaten sofa in leather pants, with the AM hours alive and the melodies so, so intoxicating?’ And how about ‘attitude! Which screams carefree not carelessness, confidence not arrogance, a cocksure sense of self-bathed in the sheer joy of playing the religious experience of real rock ‘n’ roll.’
The new album Outerstellar is an experience as much as a collection of great songs, a sweet smelling, leathery, glitter-shimmered, sweat-soaked raunch and punch wrapped in one of the great voices in rock ‘n’ roll. From loud crashing guitars to harmonicas, to gorgeous acoustic moments, you’ll sing, you’ll dance, you’ll shiver, you’ll shake, and you’ll smell this wonderful exhilarating record in all its weathered biker jacket incense-coated glory and you’ll also realize that whatever the hell is going on in the world right now, when you put this album on, it’s an instant escape to carefree days and an emancipation from worries, fears and woes.
It is EXACTLY what rock ‘n’ roll in its truest sense is meant to be, and Michael Monroe is handing you permission to get lost in the love of it. In fact, just stop reading this, get off your ‘Rockin’ Horse’ and go see Michael Monroe on tour at your first opportunity!

“It’s difficult to feel anything but joy while listening to Outerstellar. It’s wonderful.” – [CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE]
“A strong and strident return by the Finnish Rock ‘n’ Roller. Michael Monroe is still at the top of his game.” – [VIVE LE ROCK MAGAZINE]
“Michael Monroe has probably written more hits over the course of his long career (not even counting Hanoi Rocks) than any of the L.A. sleaze bands that copied him early on and went on to sell a lot of albums. Yet no one seems to realize it! Michael and band keep writing and releasing such great, relaxed music, packed with unbelievable hooks! – [ROLLING STONE]
“Punky, positive, glam, and above all, catchy, he and his bandmates rock through 12 tracks, all of which are a hit…When it comes to dirty, punky rock 'n' roll, nobody can touch Monroe. New album – new shine – new luck! Monroe has simply mastered it.” – [MUSIX]
Singing, dancing, shaking, and sweating – that's what entertainer Michael Monroe wants his listeners to do on Outerstellar. Whether catchy like Shinola, punky like Newtro Bomb, or deeply emotional in Glitter & Dust – the former frontman of Hanoi Rocks still has something entertaining to say in every situation.” – [ROCKS]
“Music right from the stomach (and not only from the head). And it always blows us away..the inventor of Sleaze Rock/Metal doesn’t care about wisdom in age and shows us one power number after another and they will be great live and the music feels like 40 years old popular hits” – [GOOD TIMES]
