THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Armed with a new bassist and the same cock-of-the-rock walk swagger they’ve had since Day 1, California rock legends Steel Panther are back with their sixth studio album and first self-produced On The Prowl. The album features 13 new tracks from the creative brains of guitarist Satchel, singer Michael Starr, drummer Stix Zadinia and their newest member (and longtime comrade) Spyder.
From the opening synth intro of Never Too Late (To Get Some Pu**y Tonight) to the thunderous outro of Sleeping On The Rollaway, Steel Panther are back with the infectious riffs, pounding drums, unforgettable vocals they’re know for — alongside the witty humor that has earned them a global audience. Songs like On Your Instagram, Magical Vagina and One Pump Chump are sure to fit in on the biggest live stages next to the band’s most-memorable songs. 1987 is an incredible retro look at that unforgettable year and the band even slows things down on the reflective Ain’t Dead Yet.
For the uninitiated, Steel Panther formed in 2000. They have continuously flown the flag for heavy metal higher than anybody this century. 2009’s Feel The Steel announced their arrival as saviors of rock, showing guests such as Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Stone Sour, M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold, Justin Hawkins of The Darkness and Scott Ian of Anthrax how it’s done! On its heels, Balls Out boasted collaborations with everyone from Chad Kroeger of Nickelback and Nuno Bettencourt to Dane Cook.
The group unleashed a string of banging LPs, namely All You Can Eat (2014), Lower The Bar (2017) and Heavy Metal Rules (2019). Meanwhile, they earned ink from outlets large and small, tallying hundreds of millions of streams views in the process. They’ve logged countless miles on the road with (and stolen groupies from) Aerosmith and Stone Sour in addition to leaving festivals such as Download begging for more. They have platinum-level YouTube status and have made high-profile television appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Larry King Now, and FOX NFL Sunday.”
